What are some of the general tips for travellers to Central Montana during the COVID-19 outbreak?
The COVID-19 outbreak has changed the way we travel, but it hasn't stopped our love of exploring. Here are a few tips on how to deal with the new challenges of travelling:
  • Understand what, if any, rules or restrictions apply to both your origin and destination. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so be sure to check government advisories before booking.
  • Keep your face mask on even during airport screening. A TSA employee will ask you to adjust your mask to verify your identity.
  • You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer. Instead, position your pass on the reader and then hold it up so the agent can inspect it.
  • One liquid hand sanitizer container is now allowed in your carry-on baggage. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to remove it from your bag at the X-ray machine for scanning.
  • Remove personal items from your pocket, like your wallet and phone, and put them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will reduce handling during screening.
  • Separate any food you're carrying for X-ray screening. Food items often set off the alarm. Placing them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to touch and inspect your belongings.
