Belle Isle State Park Vacations

The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered major changes to how we travel. If you're flying to Belle Isle State Park, the following tips will help you navigate the "new normal:"

• Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before locking in your flight. Also check if there are any requirements you'll need to follow on arrival, such as proof of a negative COVID-19 test.
• Wear a face mask even during airport screening. A TSA officer will require you to adjust your mask to verify your identity.
• Rather than handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, place it directly on the scanner yourself. Once that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• One liquid hand sanitizer container is now permitted in your carry-on baggage. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to take it out of your bag for scanning.
• Remove personal items from your pocket, such as your phone and wallet, and put them in your carry-on rather than into bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
• Transport your food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA employee will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
