Wadigi Island Trip

COVID-19 has ushered in major changes to the way we travel. If you're planning a trip to Wadigi Island, the following tips will help you navigate this new travelling reality:

• Before you lock in a flight, check if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your destination and origin. Get up-to-date information by checking government travel advisories.
• Requirements state that you must wear a face mask at the airport, including at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to lower your mask for identification purposes when asked by a TSA employee.
• Avoid handing your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA employee. Instead, position your pass on the reader and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on baggage. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to take it out of your bag for scanning.
• Empty everything from your pocket, such as your small change and phone, and place them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
• If you're taking food through the screening checkpoint, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for closer inspection.
