Royal Gorge Vacation Packages

COVID-19 has led to substantial changes to how we travel. If you're planning a vacation in Royal Gorge, these tips will help you navigate these new challenges:

• Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before booking your flight. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as installing a contact tracing app.
• You're required to wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at security checkpoints. You should be prepared to lower your mask for ID purposes when asked by a TSA officer.
• Rather than handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, place it straight on the scanner yourself. Once that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• TSA now allows 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 and submitted for screening.
• Place any personal items (like your phone and wallet) in your carry-on instead of a bin to reduce handling during screening.
• Separate any food you have for X-ray screening. Food items often set off the alarm. Placing them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to handle and inspect your belongings.
