Naarden Holidays

With the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic, travelling today comes with more challenges than in the past. Keep in mind these worthwhile tips before hopping on your plane to Naarden:

• Before you book a flight, find out if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your destination and origin. Get up-to-date information by checking government and airport websites.
• When you pass through airport checkpoints, do not remove your face mask. You will be required to briefly lower it for ID purposes. Passengers who refuse to wear a mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the terminal.
• To reduce the risk of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA agent.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on bag. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to remove it from your bag for X-ray scanning.
• Remove items from your pocket, like your wallet, coins and keys, and place them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
• 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 reduces the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.
