Backbone Mountain Vacation Packages

With new restrictions and safety precautions in effect, travel looks a bit different at the moment. These are some helpful things to know before you get on that plane to Backbone Mountain:

• Research the restrictions and rules in both your destination and origin. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so make sure you check before you lock in your flight.
• You're required to wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at security checkpoints. Be prepared to adjust your mask to verify your identity when asked.
• To reduce the possibility of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee.
• You are now allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your hand luggage. This will need to be taken out for X-ray screening.
• Put any personal items (like your phone and wallet) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during the screening process.
• If you're taking food through the screening checkpoint, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
