Rock Island Arsenal Vacation Packages

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to huge changes to the way we travel. If you're planning a vacation in Rock Island Arsenal, the following tips will help you navigate the "new normal:"

• Before locking in your flight, find out if any travel restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Keep informed with the latest updates by checking government websites.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask at the airport, including at security checkpoints. Be prepared to adjust your mask to verify your identity when asked by a TSA officer.
• Rather than handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, position it directly on the reader yourself. Once that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• You can now take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on baggage. This will need to be removed for screening.
• To minimize handling during screening, put items such as your belt, phone and wallet into your carry-on instead of into the bins.
• Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA officer will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
