Camotes Islands Trip

With strict COVID-19 precautions to adhere to, travel looks a little different at present. These are some handy things to know before you fly off to Camotes Islands:

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before locking in a flight. Also check if there are any conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as undergoing health assessments.
• When you pass through airport screening, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to lower it briefly for ID purposes. Those who refuse to wear a face mask may be fined and denied boarding.
• To reduce the possibility of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA officer.
• TSA now permits passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on baggage. This will need to be removed from your bag and submitted for screening.
• To reduce handling during the screening process, place personal items such as your phone and loose change into your carry-on instead of the bins.
• If you're bringing food on the plane, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
