Texel Island Trip

With new rules, restrictions and safety measures to adhere to, travel looks a lot different today. Here are some useful things to know before you jet off to Texel Island:

• Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before booking. Also check if there are any conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as health testing.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at security checkpoints. Be ready to adjust your mask for ID verification when asked by a TSA officer.
• To reduce the risk of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA officer.
• 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 taken out for X-ray scanning.
• Remove personal items from your pockets, like your phone, keys and wallet, and place them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
• Transport your food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Keeping food separate from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA agent will need to open your bag for inspection.
