Salla - Posio Vacations

COVID-19 may have changed how we travel, but it hasn't curbed our love of exploring. Here are some tips on how to navigate travel's new challenges:

• Before committing to anything, check if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your destination and origin. Keep informed with the latest updates by checking government travel advisories.
• You must wear a face mask at the airport, including at security checkpoints. You should be prepared to lower your mask for ID purposes when asked by a TSA officer.
• To reduce the possibility of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA officer.
• TSA now allows 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 at the X-ray machine for screening.
• Remove personal items from your pocket, such as your small change and phone, and place them in your carry-on instead of into bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
• Transport your food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA agent will need to open your bag for inspection.

Plane travel is looking a bit different nowadays. Most reputable airlines have brought in a host of measures, including social distancing, to slow the spread of COVID-19. Here are two top examples:

• Finnair - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and cleaning with disinfectant.
• Lufthansa - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and cleaning with disinfectant.
