What are some of the general tips for travellers to Northern Plains during the COVID-19 outbreak?
Due to the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, travelling now comes with more challenges. Have a read over these helpful tips before jumping on your plane to Northern Plains:
  • Before booking anything, check if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your origin and destination. Stay informed with the latest updates by reviewing government travel advisories.
  • You're required to wear a face mask at the airport, including at screening checkpoints. Be ready to lower your mask for ID purposes when asked by a TSA employee.
  • Instead of handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, place it straight on the scanner yourself. After that, hold it up for inspection.
  • You are now allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on luggage. This will need to be taken out for screening.
  • Place any personal items (e.g, keys, phone and wallet) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during screening.
  • If you're bringing food on board, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
