Nosy Iranja Trip

The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed the world in countless ways, including how we travel. The following tips will help you understand the new challenges and get you ready for your flight to Nosy Iranja:

• 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 need to follow on arrival, such as installing a contact tracing app.
• You're required to wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, even at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to adjust your mask for ID verification when asked by a TSA officer.
• To reduce the possibility 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're permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. This will need to be removed for X-ray scanning.
• To minimize handling during screening, place personal items such as your keys, wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on rather than the bins.
• Separate any food you're carrying for X-ray screening. Putting it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to touch and inspect your belongings.
