Venice Island Trip

COVID-19 has resulted in substantial changes to the way we travel. If you're planning a trip to Venice Island, these tips will help you navigate these new travelling challenges:

• Look into what, if any, restrictions or rules apply to both your origin and destination. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so remember to check before you book.
• Keep your face mask on during airport screening. A TSA officer will ask you to temporarily lower your mask for identification purposes.
• To reduce the possibility of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA agent.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted 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 at the X-ray machine for screening.
• Empty everything from your pockets, like your wallet and phone, and place them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
• Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA officer will need to open your bag for inspection.
