Gasparilla Island Holidays

COVID-19 has triggered big changes to how we travel. If you're flying to Gasparilla Island, these tips will help you navigate these new travelling challenges:

• Investigate if any restrictions apply to both your destination and origin. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so make sure you check before you book.
• Requirements state that you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, even at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to lower your mask for ID purposes when asked by a TSA officer.
• To decrease the risk of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA agent.
• You're allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your hand luggage. You'll have to remove it for X-ray screening.
• Remove items from your pocket, such as your small change and phone, and place them in your carry-on rather than into bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
• Separate any food you have for X-ray 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.
