Peter Island Trip

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 outbreak, you'll notice a host of new rules and standards in place. Follow these tips and make your journey to Peter Island go off without a hitch:

• Before you lock in a flight, see if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your destination and origin. Get the latest updates by reviewing government websites.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at security checkpoints. Be prepared to adjust your mask for ID verification when asked by a TSA employee.
• Rather than handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, position it directly on the scanner yourself. Then, hold it up for inspection.
• TSA now allows 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.
• To minimize handling during the screening process, place personal items such as your loose change and phone into your carry-on instead of into the bins.
• 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 touch and open your bag for inspection.
