Presque Isle State Park Holidays

Due to the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 outbreak, travelling now comes with a few extra challenges. Keep in mind the following tips before jumping on your flight to Presque Isle State Park:

• Before you book a flight, check if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your destination and origin. Get up-to-date information by checking government websites.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask at the airport, including at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to adjust your mask to verify your identity when asked by a TSA officer.
• To minimize the risk of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee.
• TSA now allows passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on baggage. This will have to be removed from your bag for X-ray scanning.
• Empty everything from your pockets, such as your wallet, keys and phone, and place them in your carry-on instead of into bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
• If you're taking food on the plane, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.

Board a plane now and you're bound to notice some differences. For instance, most reputable carriers have introduced social distancing and improved hygiene standards. Two good examples are:

• American Airlines - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and cleaning with disinfectant.
• United Airlines - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and cleaning with disinfectant.
