Lauchernalp Vacations from ￥163,708

Due to the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, traveling now comes with more challenges than usual. Cast your eye over these handy tips before hopping on your plane to Lauchernalp:

• Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before locking in your flight. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as undergoing health assessments.
• Wear a face mask during airport screening. A TSA employee will ask you to lower your mask temporarily for ID purposes.
• Do not hand your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA officer. Rather, place your pass on the scanner and then hold it up for the agent to visually inspect it.
• TSA now allows 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 for X-ray screening.
• To reduce handling during the screening process, place personal items such as your phone and loose change into your carry-on instead of into the bins.
• Separate any food you're carrying for X-ray screening. Placing it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to touch and inspect your belongings.
