Cham Islands Trip

If it's your first time travelling during COVID-19, you'll notice plenty of new rules and restrictions in place. Follow these tips and make your journey to Cham Islands a smooth one:

• Understand if any restrictions apply to both your destination and origin. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so make sure you check before you book.
• When you pass through airport checkpoints, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to lower it briefly to verify your identity. Passengers who refuse to wear a mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the terminal.
• To reduce the likelihood of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA agent.
• You are now permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on baggage. This will need to be removed for X-ray scanning.
• To minimize handling during the screening process, put items such as your phone and loose change into your carry-on rather than the bins.
• 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 officer to touch and inspect your belongings.
