What are some of the general tips for travellers to Mount Desert Island during the COVID-19 outbreak?
With the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic, travelling today comes with more challenges than usual. Cast your eye over these valuable tips before jumping on your flight to Mount Desert Island:
  • Before locking in your flight, check if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your destination and origin. Get up-to-date information by reviewing official government websites.
  • When you go through airport screening, keep your face mask on. You will be required to lower it briefly for ID purposes. Anyone refusing to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be denied boarding.
  • To reduce the likelihood of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA employee.
  • TSA is now permitting passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on baggage. This will need to be removed from your bag at the X-ray machine for screening.
  • To reduce handling during screening, put items such as your wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on rather than into the bins.
  • Separate any food you have for screening. Placing it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA employee to touch and inspect your belongings.
