What are some of the general tips for travellers to Lofoten during the COVID-19 outbreak?
COVID-19 has brought about dramatic changes to the way we travel. If you're planning a trip to Lofoten, the following tips will help you navigate this new travelling reality:
  • Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before booking. Also check if there are any requirements you'll have to follow on arrival, such as proof of a negative COVID-19 test.
  • Wear a face mask during airport screening. A TSA officer will require you to temporarily lower your mask for ID purposes.
  • Avoid handing your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA officer. Instead, position your pass on the scanner and then hold it up for the agent to visually inspect it.
  • One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on bag. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to take it out of your bag at the X-ray machine for scanning.
  • Place any personal items (like your phone, wallet and keys) in your carry-on rather than a bin to reduce handling during screening.
  • If you're planning to take food on board, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
