Southeast Oklahoma Holidays

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 pandemic, you'll no doubt notice a few more rules and standards in place. Follow these tips and make your escape to Southeast Oklahoma go off without a hitch:

• Before booking anything, check if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get up-to-date information by reviewing government and travel websites.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask at the airport, including at security checkpoints. Be ready to adjust your mask for ID purposes when asked by a TSA officer.
• Rather than handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, position it directly on the scanner yourself. When that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on luggage. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag at the X-ray machine for screening.
• To reduce handling during the screening process, place items such as your phone, wallet and keys into your carry-on rather than the bins.
• If you want to take food on the plane, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
