Wallis Island Trip

Due to the ongoing effects of COVID-19, travelling now comes with more challenges than in the past. Read through these useful tips before boarding your flight to Wallis Island:

• Before locking in your flight, find out if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get the latest updates by checking government websites.
• When you go through airport screening, keep your face mask on. You will be required to briefly lower it to confirm your identity. Those who refuse to wear a mask may be fined and denied entry.
• Avoid handing your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer. Rather, you should position the pass on the scanner and then hold it up so the agent can inspect it.
• You can now take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. You'll have to remove it for X-ray screening.
• Remove personal items from your pockets, such as your wallet, keys and phone, and put them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
• Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA officer will need to open your bag for inspection.
