Hecla-Grindstone Provincial Park Holidays

In the era of the COVID-19 pandemic, traveling today comes with a few extra challenges. Have a read over these valuable tips before hopping on your flight to Hecla-Grindstone Provincial Park:

• Know the restrictions and rules in both your origin and destination. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so check in advance.
• Wear a face mask even during airport screening. A TSA employee will ask you to adjust your mask for ID purposes.
• 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 baggage. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to remove it from your bag at the X-ray machine for scanning.
• Put any personal items (e.g, wallet, keys and phone) in your carry-on rather than a bin to reduce handling during screening.
• If you want to take food through the security checkpoint, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.
