Cooperstown - Otsego Lake Holidays

With new COVID-19 safety measures in place, travel looks a little different right now. Here are a few things to know before you pack your suitcase for Cooperstown - Otsego Lake:

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before booking anything. Also check if there are any requirements you'll need to follow on arrival, such as mandatory quarantining.
• Requirements state that you must wear a face mask at the airport, even at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to lower your mask for ID verification when asked by a TSA employee.
• You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA employee. Instead, place your pass on the scanner and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
• You are now allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. This will need to be taken out for screening.
• To reduce handling during the screening process, put items such as your phone, coins and keys into your carry-on rather than into the bins.
• If you want to take food on board, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.
