Clark Island Trip

If it's your first time travelling during COVID-19, you'll notice a raft of new rules and standards in place. Take note of these tips and make your getaway to Clark Island go off without a hitch:

• Understand what, if any, restrictions or rules apply to both your destination and origin. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so check in advance.
• You must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, even at screening checkpoints. Be ready to adjust your mask to verify your identity when asked by a TSA officer.
• Instead of handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, place it straight on the scanner yourself. After that, hold it up for inspection.
• You're permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on baggage. This will need to be taken out for X-ray scanning.
• Place any personal items (e.g, keys, phone and coins) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during the screening process.
• Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA officer will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
