Frequently asked questions

Can I cancel my flight booking to Southern Minnesota due to COVID-19?
Many airlines now provide more flexibility due to COVID-19. Our handy Customer Service Portal will help find an answer to most queries about flight changes or cancellations. It's also worth reading through the terms and conditions of your airfare — preferably before you make a booking!

What are some of the general tips for travelers to Southern Minnesota during the COVID-19 outbreak?
With the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak, traveling today comes with a few extra challenges. Make a note of the following tips before jumping on your flight to Southern Minnesota:
  • Before committing to anything, see if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Get the latest updates by checking government and airport websites.
  • You're required to wear a face mask at the airport, including at security checkpoints. Be prepared to lower your mask for ID purposes when asked.
  • Rather than handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, place it straight on the reader yourself. Once that's done, hold it up for inspection.
  • One liquid hand sanitizer container is now allowed in your carry-on luggage. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to remove it from your bag for X-ray scanning.
  • Place any personal items (phone, keys and wallet) in your carry-on instead of a bin to reduce handling during screening.
  • If you're taking food through the security checkpoint, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
