Västerbotten Holidays

In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, travelling now comes with a few additional challenges. Keep in mind these valuable tips before hopping on your flight to Västerbotten:

• Look into the rules and restrictions in both your destination and origin. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so make sure you check before you lock something in.
• You must wear a face mask at the airport, even at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to lower your mask for ID verification when asked by a TSA officer.
• Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer. Rather, position the pass on the scanner and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
• You can take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on luggage. This will need to be removed for screening.
• To reduce handling during the screening process, put items such as your phone, keys and wallet into your carry-on instead of the bins.
• Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA agent will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
