Guimaras Island Trip

The COVID-19 pandemic has ushered in major changes to the way we travel. If you're planning an escape to Guimaras Island, these tips will help you navigate travel's newest challenges:

• Investigate if any restrictions apply to both your origin and destination. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so remember to check before you lock in your flight.
• You must wear a face mask at the airport, even at screening checkpoints. Be ready to adjust your mask to verify your identity when asked by a TSA employee.
• Do not hand your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA officer. Rather, place your pass on the reader and then hold it up for inspection.
• TSA now allows passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on baggage. This will have to be removed from your bag and presented for screening.
• Empty everything from your pockets, like your wallet and phone, and put them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
• Separate any food you're carrying for screening. Putting it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to handle and inspect your belongings.

Physical distancing is just one element of new travel strategies to ease the spread of COVID-19. From your first steps on board, these airlines will bring you to your destination with comfort and confidence:
