Whortleberry Island Trip

COVID-19 has changed how the world works in endless ways, including how and where we travel. The following tips will help you better understand these new challenges and prepare you for your flight to Whortleberry Island:

• Before locking in your flight, see if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your origin and destination. Get up-to-date information by reviewing official government websites.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at security checkpoints. Be prepared to lower your mask for ID purposes when asked by a TSA employee.
• To reduce the possibility of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer.
• You are now permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on baggage. This will need to be taken out for X-ray scanning.
• Empty your personal items from your pockets, such as your wallet, coins and keys, and place them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
• Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA employee will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
