Bear Island Trip

The COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in dramatic changes to how we travel. If you're planning a holiday in Bear Island, the following tips will help you navigate these new travelling challenges:

• Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before booking your flight. Also check if there are any conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as undergoing health assessments.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask at the airport, including at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to lower your mask for identification purposes when asked.
• Avoid handing your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA employee. Instead, position your pass on the reader and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
• You can now take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on baggage. You'll have to remove it for screening.
• To reduce handling during the screening process, place items such as your loose change and phone into your carry-on instead of the bins.
• Separate any food you have for screening. Putting it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA employee to touch and inspect your belongings.
