Paderborner Land Holidays

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 pandemic, you'll notice a range of new standards and rules in place. Follow these tips and make your escape to Paderborner Land a smooth one:

• Find out the rules and restrictions in both your destination and origin. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so remember to check before you book.
• Requirements state that you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at security checkpoints. Be ready to lower your mask for ID verification when asked by a TSA officer.
• Instead of handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, place it straight on the reader yourself. Once that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• You're allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your hand luggage. You'll need to remove it for screening.
• Remove items from your pocket, such as your phone, keys and wallet, and place them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
• If you're planning to take food on board, 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 carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.

Board a plane now and you're sure to notice some changes. For instance, many airlines have introduced social distancing policies and improved hygiene measures. A couple of great examples are:

• Eurowings - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and cleaning with disinfectant.
• Pegasus Airlines - this airline is known for conducting passenger temperature checks and cleaning with disinfectant.
