Eastern Idaho Holidays

The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed how the world works in a profound way, and travel has changed with it. These tips will help you understand the new challenges and prepare you for your escape to Eastern Idaho:

• Understand what, if any, rules or restrictions apply to both your destination and origin. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so don't forget to check before you lock in your flight.
• You're required to wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at screening checkpoints. Be ready to lower your mask for ID purposes when asked by a TSA employee.
• Avoid handing your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee. Rather, position the pass on the reader and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
• You can now take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on luggage. You'll have to remove it for screening.
• Put any personal items (e.g, keys, phone and wallet) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during screening.
• If you're bringing food through the security checkpoint, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for closer inspection.
