Isles of Shoals Trip

The COVID-19 outbreak has affected how the world works in endless ways, including how and where we travel. The following tips will help you understand these new challenges and prepare you for your trip to Isles of Shoals:

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before locking in your flight. Also check if there are any conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as taking a COVID-19 test.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to adjust your mask for ID purposes when asked by a TSA officer.
• To reduce the possibility of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA agent.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on baggage. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag at the X-ray machine for screening.
• To reduce handling during the screening process, place personal items such as your phone, keys and wallet into your carry-on instead of into the bins.
• Separate any food you have 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 employee to handle and inspect your belongings.
