Guapi Island Trip

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 pandemic, you'll no doubt notice a few more restrictions and standards in place. Take note of these tips and make your escape to Guapi Island go off without a hitch:

• Research what, if any, rules or restrictions apply to both your origin and destination. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so remember to check in advance.
• When you pass through airport screening, keep your face mask on. You will be required to briefly lower it for identification purposes. Passengers who refuse to wear a mask may be fined and denied boarding.
• Rather than handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, position it straight on the reader yourself. Once that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• You're allowed to 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 everything from your pockets, like your wallet and phone, and put them in your carry-on rather than into bins. This will reduce handling during screening.
• Separate any food you're carrying for X-ray scanning. 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 handle and inspect your belongings.

As restrictions ease and people begin travelling again, many airlines have introduced policies like social distancing to help minimize the spread of COVID-19. Here are a couple of examples:

• LATAM Airlines - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and capped capacity flights.
• Sky Airline - this airline is known for conducting passenger temperature checks and cleaning with disinfectant.
