Las Tintoreras Islet Trip

With new safety guidelines in place, travel looks a bit different in this day and age. Here's what you should know before you pack your bags for Las Tintoreras Islet:

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before committing to a flight. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as taking a COVID-19 test.
• Wear a face mask even during airport screening. A TSA employee will require you to temporarily lower your mask to verify your identity.
• Rather than handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, place it straight on the scanner yourself. Then, hold it up for inspection.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on luggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to take it out of your bag for screening.
• Empty your personal items from your pockets, such as your wallet, coins and keys, and place them in your carry-on instead of into bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
• Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA employee will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
