Krk Island Trip

With new COVID-19 safety measures in effect, travel looks a little different at the moment. Here's what you need to know before you head off to Krk Island:

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before locking in your flight. Also check if there are any conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as proof of a negative COVID-19 test.
• Wear a face mask even during airport screening. A TSA officer will ask you to temporarily lower your mask for identification purposes.
• To reduce the likelihood of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee.
• You can take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on luggage. You'll need to remove it for X-ray screening.
• Empty everything from your pocket, like your small change and phone, and put them in your carry-on rather than into bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
• 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 agent will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
