Roslagen Vacations

With new restrictions and safety precautions in place, travel looks a bit different in this day and age. Here's what you should know before you head off to Roslagen:

• Research what rules and restrictions apply to both your origin and destination. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so check government advisories before booking.
• Keep your face mask on even during airport screening. A TSA employee will require you to temporarily lower your mask for ID purposes.
• To reduce the possibility 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 officer.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on baggage. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to remove it from your bag for screening.
• Remove personal items from your pockets, such as your keys, phone and wallet, and put them in your carry-on rather than into bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
• If you want to take food through security screening, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
