Limburgse Kempen Holidays

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 outbreak, you'll notice a few more standards and rules in place. Take note of these tips and make your getaway to Limburgse Kempen a smooth one:

• Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before booking your flight. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as testing and quarantining.
• You're required to wear a face mask at the airport, including at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to adjust your mask for identification purposes when asked by a TSA officer.
• You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA officer. Instead, position your 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 baggage. This will have to be removed from your bag and presented for screening.
• Empty everything from your pocket, such as your wallet and phone, and place them in your carry-on instead of into bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
• Transport your food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Keeping food separate from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA agent will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
