Sud Mayotte Trip

If it's your first time travelling during COVID-19, you'll notice a raft of new rules and regulations in place. Take note of these tips and make your escape to Sud Mayotte go off without a hitch:

• Find out the rules and restrictions in both your origin and destination. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so make sure you check before you book your flight.
• You must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at security checkpoints. Be prepared to lower your mask for ID verification when asked by a TSA officer.
• Instead of handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, place it straight on the reader yourself. Then, hold it up for inspection.
• You can take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. This will need to be taken out for X-ray scanning.
• Remove personal items from your pockets, like your small change and phone, and place them in your carry-on rather than into bins. This will reduce handling during screening.
• Transport your 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.
