Yen Noi Island Trip

With the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak, travelling now comes with more challenges. Cast your eye over these worthwhile tips before hopping on your plane to Yen Noi Island:

• Research the restrictions and rules in both your origin and destination. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so make sure you check before you lock in your flight.
• Wear a face mask during airport screening. A TSA officer will require you to adjust your mask for ID purposes.
• You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA employee. Rather, you should place the pass on the scanner and then hold it up for inspection.
• You're permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. This will need to be taken out for screening.
• To reduce handling during screening, put items such as your phone and loose change into your carry-on instead of into the bins.
• If you're taking food through the security 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 handle your food container or carry-on bag for closer inspection.

Like most things, air travel is looking noticeably different at the moment. Airlines throughout the world have adopted a number of new measures, including social distancing, to help minimize the spread of COVID-19. Here are a couple of them:
