Pennsylvania Wilds Vacations

If it's your first time traveling during the COVID-19 pandemic, you'll notice a raft of new restrictions and standards in place. Follow these tips and make your trip to Pennsylvania Wilds a smooth one:

• Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before locking in your flight. Also check if there are any requirements you'll have to follow on arrival, such as undergoing health assessments.
• Requirements state that you must wear a face mask at the airport, including at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to adjust your mask for ID purposes when asked.
• To reduce the possibility of cross-contamination, place 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.
• You are now allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on baggage. You'll need to remove it for screening.
• Place any personal items (phone, wallet and keys for example) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during screening.
• Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA agent will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
