Hanko Holidays

Due to the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 outbreak, travelling now comes with a few extra challenges. Make a note of these handy tips before hopping on your flight to Hanko:

• Before committing to anything, find out if any travel restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Get the latest updates by reviewing official government websites.
• Wear a face mask during airport screening. A TSA employee will ask you to temporarily lower your mask for ID purposes.
• You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA employee. Rather, position your pass on the scanner and then hold it up for inspection.
• TSA now allows passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on bags. This will have to be removed from your bag for X-ray scanning.
• Empty your personal items from your pocket, like your small change and phone, and place them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
• Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA agent will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
