What are some of the general tips for travelers to Upper Peninsula during the COVID-19 outbreak?
The COVID-19 pandemic has ushered in dramatic changes to how we travel. If you're planning a vacation in Upper Peninsula, the following tips will help you navigate these new traveling challenges:
  • Before you lock in a flight, check if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Keep informed with the latest updates by checking government travel advisories.
  • When you go through airport screening, keep your face mask on. You will be required to lower it briefly to confirm your identity. Anyone refusing to wear a mask may face civil penalties and may also be denied boarding.
  • Avoid handing your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA employee. Rather, position the pass on the scanner and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
  • You can now take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on baggage. You'll have to remove it for screening.
  • Remove personal items from your pockets, such as your phone and wallet, and put them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
  • If you're taking food on the plane, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
