Palm Beach Isles Trip

With the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, travelling today comes with more challenges than in the past. Make a note of the following tips before jumping on your flight to Palm Beach Isles:

• Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before booking. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as proof of a negative COVID-19 test.
• Wear a face mask during airport screening. A TSA employee will require you to temporarily lower your mask for ID purposes.
• To reduce the potential of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee.
• 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 have to take it out of your bag for X-ray scanning.
• Remove personal items from your pockets, like your wallet, coins and keys, and put them in your carry-on rather than into bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
• Separate any food you have for X-ray scanning. Food items often trigger the alarm. Putting them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA employee to handle and inspect your belongings.
