Frequently asked questions

Can I cancel my flight booking to Central Minnesota due to COVID-19?
Many airlines now offer more flexibility due to COVID-19. Our handy Customer Service Portal will help solve most queries about flight changes or cancellations. It's also a good idea to check the terms and conditions of your airfare — preferably before locking in your seat!
What's the best way to find cheap flights to Central Minnesota that have flexible change policies?
By using our convenient "No change fee" filter, that's how. Simply type in your travel dates, click "Search," then mark the checkbox directly underneath the "Flexible change policies" subheading (it's on the left). Expedia makes it a snap to find flexible, cheap airfares to Central Minnesota.
What are some of the general tips for travellers to Central Minnesota during the COVID-19 outbreak?
COVID-19 has triggered major changes to the way we travel. If you plan to visit Central Minnesota, these tips will help you navigate these new challenges and rules:
  • Research if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before booking anything. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as taking a COVID-19 test.
  • Keep your face mask on during airport screening. A TSA officer will ask you to lower your mask temporarily for identification purposes.
  • Avoid handing your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA officer. Instead, place your pass on the reader and then hold it up for the agent to visually inspect it.
  • One liquid hand sanitizer container is now permitted in your carry-on bag. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag for X-ray scanning.
  • To minimize handling during screening, place items such as your phone and loose change into your carry-on instead of into the bins.
  • Separate any food you have for 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 employee to touch and inspect your belongings.
