Don Pedro Island Trip

The COVID-19 outbreak has changed the world in countless ways, including how we can travel safely. The following tips will help you better understand these new challenges and prepare you for your holiday in Don Pedro Island:

• Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before committing to a flight. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as health testing.
• You're required to wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to adjust your mask to verify your identity when asked by a TSA employee.
• To reduce the likelihood 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 agent.
• 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.
• Empty your personal items from your pocket, like your wallet, keys and phone, and place them in your carry-on instead of into bins. This will reduce handling during screening.
• Separate any food you're carrying for screening. Food items often set off the alarm. Placing them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to touch and inspect your belongings.
