Lake Winnipeg Holidays

In the era of the COVID-19 outbreak, travelling now comes with a few extra challenges. Keep in mind these handy tips before jumping on your flight to Lake Winnipeg:

• Before booking anything, find out if any travel restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get the latest updates by checking government websites.
• When you pass through airport checkpoints, keep your face mask on. You will be required to lower it briefly to confirm your identity. Passengers who refuse to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the terminal.
• You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA officer. Instead, position the pass on the reader and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
• TSA now permits passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on bags. This will need to be removed from your bag to be screened.
• Put any personal items (e.g, keys, phone and coins) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during the screening process.
• If you want to take food through the security checkpoint, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.

In an effort to minimize contact between passengers and aircrew during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many airlines have taken social distancing and other measures to the skies. These carriers include:

• WestJet - this airline is known for cleaning with disinfectant and electrostatic cleaning.
• Air Canada - this airline is known for conducting passenger temperature checks and cleaning with disinfectant.
• Bearskin Airlines - this airline is known for cleaning with disinfectant and conducting passenger temperature checks.
