What are some of the general tips for travellers to Southwest Side during the COVID-19 outbreak?
In the face of COVID-19  travelling now comes with a few extra challenges. Keep in mind these worthwhile tips before boarding your plane to Southwest Side:
  • Understand what rules and restrictions apply to both your origin and destination. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so remember to check before you book your flight.
  • When you go through airport checkpoints, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to briefly lower it for identification purposes. Travellers who refuse to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be denied boarding.
  • Instead of handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, place it directly on the reader yourself. When that's done, hold it up for inspection.
  • One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on baggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to take it out of your bag at the X-ray machine for screening.
  • Put any personal items (phone, wallet and keys for example) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during the screening process.
  • If you want to take food on board, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
