Northwest Aroostook Holidays

With the continued impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak, travelling now comes with a few more challenges than usual. Take a look at these helpful tips before hopping on your flight to Northwest Aroostook:

• Before you lock in a flight, check if any travel restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Keep informed with the latest updates by checking official government websites.
• You're required to wear a face mask at the airport, even at screening checkpoints. Be ready to lower your mask for ID purposes when asked by a TSA employee.
• Instead of handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, place it directly on the scanner yourself. Then, hold it up for inspection.
• You can take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your hand luggage. You'll need to remove it for screening.
• Put any personal items (like your phone, wallet and keys) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during the screening process.
• If you're taking food on board, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for closer inspection.
