The COVID-19 pandemic has ushered in significant changes to the way we travel. If you're planning a holiday in Salzkammergut, the following tips will help you navigate these new challenges:
  • 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 need to follow on arrival, such as taking a COVID-19 test.
  • Keep your face mask on even during airport screening. A TSA officer will ask you to adjust your mask for identification purposes.
  • Instead of handing a TSA officer 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 permitted in your carry-on luggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to remove it from your bag for scanning.
  • Empty everything from your pocket, such as your phone and wallet, and put them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will reduce handling during screening.
  • Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA officer will need to open your bag for inspection.
