Isla de Graciosa Trip

COVID-19 has transformed how the world works in ways big and small, including how we're able to safely travel. The following tips will help you navigate these new challenges and prepare you for your flight to Isla de Graciosa:

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before committing to a flight. Also check if there are any conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as proof of a negative COVID-19 test.
• You must wear a face mask at the airport, including at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to lower your mask for ID purposes when asked by a TSA officer.
• To reduce the risk 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.
• TSA is now permitting 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 submitted for screening.
• To minimize handling during screening, place personal items such as your keys, wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on rather than into the bins.
• Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA officer will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
