Alexander Selkirk Island Trip

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about significant changes to the way we travel. If you plan to visit Alexander Selkirk Island, these tips will help you navigate the "new normal:"

• Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before booking. Also check if there are any conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as mandatory quarantining.
• Requirements state that you must wear a face mask at the airport, even at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to adjust your mask for ID purposes when asked by a TSA employee.
• Rather than handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, position it directly on the reader yourself. Then, hold it up for inspection.
• TSA is now allowing passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on baggage. This will have to be removed from your bag and submitted for screening.
• Place any personal items (e.g, keys, phone and wallet) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during the screening process.
• Separate any food you have for X-ray screening. Food items often trigger the alarm. Putting them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to touch and inspect your belongings.
