Captree Island Holidays from NZ$3,139

If it's your first time travelling during COVID-19  you'll notice new regulations and rules in place. Follow these tips and make your escape to Captree Island a smooth one:

• Before you lock in a flight, check if any travel restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Get the latest updates by checking government and airport websites.
• Wear a face mask during airport screening. A TSA officer will ask you to adjust your mask for identification purposes.
• Rather than handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, place it directly on the reader yourself. Once that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• You can take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on luggage. You'll need to remove it for X-ray scanning.
• To minimize handling during screening, place items such as your wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on instead of the bins.
• Separate any food you're carrying for screening. Putting it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to handle and inspect your belongings.
