Lady Musgrave Island Trip

The COVID-19 outbreak has transformed the world in many ways, including how and where we travel. The following tips will help you navigate the new challenges and prepare you for your holiday in Lady Musgrave Island:

• Find out what, if any, rules or restrictions apply to both your destination and origin. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so remember to check before you lock in your flight.
• When you go through airport screening, keep your face mask on. You will be required to lower it briefly for ID purposes. Passengers who refuse to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the terminal.
• Instead of handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, place it directly on the scanner yourself. After that, hold it up for inspection.
• You are now allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. You'll have to remove it for X-ray screening.
• Remove personal items from your pockets, such as your wallet, coins and keys, and put them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
• Separate any food you have for X-ray screening. Food items often trigger the alarm. Putting them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to handle and inspect your belongings.
