Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Vacations

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected how the world works in ways big and small, including how and where we're able to travel. These tips will help you navigate these new challenges and get you ready for your escape to Cariboo Chilcotin Coast:

• Research the restrictions and rules in both your destination and origin. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so check before you book.
• Keep your face mask on even during airport screening. A TSA employee will require you to temporarily lower your mask for ID purposes.
• To decrease the risk of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee.
• One liquid hand sanitizer container is now allowed in your carry-on baggage. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to take it out of your bag for scanning.
• To minimize handling during the screening process, place personal items such as your phone, wallet and keys into your carry-on instead of the bins.
• Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping food separate from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA officer will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
