What are some of the general tips for travellers to Explorer Country during the COVID-19 outbreak?
The COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in substantial changes to the way we travel. If you're flying to Explorer Country, these tips will help you navigate these new rules and challenges:
  • Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before booking. Also check if there are any conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as proof of a negative COVID-19 test.
  • Requirements state that you must wear a face mask at the airport, including at security checkpoints. Be prepared to adjust your mask for ID purposes when asked.
  • Rather than handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, place it directly on the scanner yourself. When that's done, hold it up for inspection.
  • You can take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on baggage. You'll need to remove it for screening.
  • Empty your personal items from your pocket, such as your keys, phone and wallet, and place them in your carry-on instead of into bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
  • Separate any food you have for screening. Food items often trigger the alarm. Putting them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to handle and inspect your belongings.
