COVID-19 has transformed how the world works in all kinds of ways, including our approach to travel. The following tips will help you navigate the new challenges and prepare you for your vacation in Asyut Governorate:
- Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before booking your flight. Also check if there are any requirements you’ll have to follow on arrival, such as health testing.
- When you go through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be required to briefly lower it for identification purposes. Travelers who refuse to wear a mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the terminal.
- To reduce the potential 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.
- TSA is now permitting passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on luggage. This will need to be removed from your bag at the X-ray machine for scanning.
- Place any personal items (keys, wallet and phone) in your carry-on instead of a bin to reduce handling during screening.
- If you’re planning to take food through the security checkpoint, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
