Egmont Key State Park Holidays

Due to the ongoing effects of COVID-19, travelling now comes with more challenges than in the past. Cast your eye over the following tips before hopping on your flight to Egmont Key State Park:

• Research 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 have to follow on arrival, such as proof of a negative COVID-19 test.
• You're required to wear a face mask at the airport, including at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to adjust your mask for ID purposes when asked by a TSA officer.
• Instead of handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, place it straight on the scanner yourself. After that, hold it up for inspection.
• TSA is now allowing passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on bags. This will have to be removed from your bag to be screened.
• Put any personal items (like your phone, wallet and keys) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during the screening process.
• Separate any food you're carrying for X-ray screening. Food items often trigger the alarm. Putting them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to handle and inspect your belongings.
