Delft Island Trip

With the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic, travelling now comes with a few extra challenges. Cast your eye over the following information before hopping on your flight to Delft Island:

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before locking in a flight. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as installing a contact tracing app.
• When you pass through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be required to lower it briefly for ID purposes. Anyone refusing to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the building.
• Rather than handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, place it directly on the reader yourself. Then, hold it up for inspection.
• You are now permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. You'll have to remove it for X-ray screening.
• Remove items from your pockets, like your wallet, phone and small change, and put them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
• Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA employee will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
