Penyengat Island Trip

The COVID-19 outbreak has transformed how the world works in so many ways, and travel has changed with it. The following tips will help you understand the new challenges and prepare you for your flight to Penyengat Island:

• Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before locking in your 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 lower your mask temporarily for ID purposes.
• Avoid handing your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee. Instead, place your pass on the reader and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
• TSA is now permitting passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on luggage. This will have to be removed from your bag for screening.
• Place any personal items (e.g, keys, phone and coins) in your carry-on rather than a bin to reduce handling during screening.
• Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA employee will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
