What are some of the general tips for travellers to North Central Florida during the COVID-19 outbreak?
With the continuation of COVID-19  travelling today comes with more challenges than in the past. Make a note of these useful tips before boarding your flight to North Central Florida:
  • Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before locking in a flight. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as mandatory quarantining.
  • When you pass through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be asked to briefly lower it to verify your identity. Passengers who refuse to wear a mask may face civil penalties and may also be denied boarding.
  • Rather than handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, position it straight on the scanner yourself. When that's done, hold it up for inspection.
  • One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on bag. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to remove it from your bag for scanning.
  • Put any personal items (e.g, wallet, keys and phone) in your carry-on instead of a bin to reduce handling during the screening process.
  • 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 handle and inspect your belongings.
