Kohama Island Trip

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 outbreak, you'll notice a raft of new rules and regulations in place. Take note of these tips and make your getaway to Kohama Island go off without a hitch:

• Understand what, if any, restrictions or rules apply to both your destination and origin. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so check in advance.
• Requirements state that you must wear a face mask at the airport, even at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to lower your mask to verify your identity when asked.
• Rather than handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, position it directly on the scanner yourself. Then, hold it up for inspection.
• TSA now permits passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on bags. This will need to be removed from your bag for X-ray screening.
• Empty everything from your pocket, such as your wallet, phone and small change, and put them in your carry-on rather than into bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
• Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Keeping food separate from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA agent will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
