Romantic Road Holidays

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about substantial changes to the way we travel. If you're planning a trip to Romantic Road, the following tips will help you navigate these new challenges and rules:

• Before locking in your flight, find out if any travel restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Get up-to-date information by reviewing government websites.
• Keep your face mask on during airport screening. A TSA employee will require you to temporarily lower your mask to verify your identity.
• Rather than handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, position it straight on the scanner yourself. Once that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on luggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to take it out of your bag for screening.
• To minimize handling during screening, place items such as your wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on instead of into the bins.
• Separate any food you have for X-ray scanning. Putting it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to handle and inspect your belongings.
