Western North Dakota Holidays

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 outbreak, you'll no doubt notice a few more rules and restrictions in place. Take note of these tips and make your escape to Western North Dakota go off without a hitch:

• Before you lock in a flight, check if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Stay informed with the latest updates by reviewing government and travel websites.
• Keep your face mask on even during airport screening. A TSA employee will require you to adjust your mask for ID purposes.
• Instead of handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, place it directly on the reader yourself. When that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• You're permitted 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 X-ray scanning.
• Remove items from your pocket, like your phone, keys and wallet, and place them in your carry-on rather than into bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
• Separate any food you're carrying 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.
