Yahoo Island Trip

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 outbreak, you'll notice plenty of new standards and rules in place. Follow these tips and make your getaway to Yahoo Island a smooth one:

• Before you lock in a flight, check if any travel restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Stay informed with the latest updates by reviewing government and travel websites.
• Wear a face mask even during airport screening. A TSA officer will require you to temporarily lower your mask to verify your identity.
• Avoid handing your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA employee. Rather, you should position the pass on the reader and then hold it up for the agent to visually inspect it.
• You're permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your hand luggage. You'll need to remove it for X-ray screening.
• To reduce handling during the screening process, place items such as your phone, keys and wallet into your carry-on instead of into the bins.
• 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 means it's less likely a TSA officer will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
