Paso Robles Wine Country Holidays

With new COVID-19 rules and measures in place, travel looks a bit different at present. Here's what you should know before you pack your bags for Paso Robles Wine Country:

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before booking. Also check if there are any requirements you'll need to follow on arrival, such as mandatory quarantining.
• When you pass through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be required to lower it briefly for ID purposes. Passengers who refuse to wear a mask may be fined and denied entry.
• To reduce the potential of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA agent.
• You're allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. You'll need to remove it for X-ray scanning.
• To reduce handling during screening, place personal items such as your phone, keys and wallet into your carry-on rather than the bins.
• If you're taking food on the plane with you, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
