Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, traveling now comes with greater challenges. Take note of these helpful tips before jumping on your plane to Hochpustertal Valley:

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before booking. Also check if there are any conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as installing a contact tracing app.
• When you go through airport screening, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to lower it briefly for identification purposes. Travelers who refuse to wear a face mask may be denied entry or boarding.
• To decrease the risk 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.
• TSA now permits passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on baggage. This will have to be removed from your bag to be screened.
• Place any personal items (phone, wallet and keys) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during screening.
• If you're bringing food through the screening checkpoint, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
