Waterfall Country Trips (flight + hotel)

If it's your first time traveling during the COVID-19 pandemic, you'll notice a few more rules and standards in place. Take note of these tips and make your escape to Waterfall Country go off without a hitch:

• Understand what rules and restrictions apply to both your destination and origin. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so make sure you check before you book.
• Keep your face mask on during airport screening. A TSA employee will require you to temporarily lower your mask to verify your identity.
• Instead of handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, place it directly on the reader yourself. After that, hold it up for inspection.
• You are now allowed 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 screening.
• To minimize handling during screening, place items such as your wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on instead of the bins.
• If you want to take food on the plane with you, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
