Harbor Island Holidays

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, travelling now comes with more challenges than in the past. Keep in mind these valuable tips before boarding your plane to Harbour Island:

• Understand what rules and restrictions apply to both your destination and origin. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so be sure to check before you lock in your flight.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask at the airport, including at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to lower your mask for ID verification when asked by a TSA employee.
• You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA officer. Rather, you should place the pass on the scanner and then hold it up for inspection.
• You are now allowed 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 X-ray screening.
• Put any personal items (like your phone, wallet and keys) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during screening.
• Transport your food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping food separate from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA agent will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.

To minimize contact between passengers and cabin crew during the current pandemic, many airlines have taken social distancing and other precautionary measures to the skies. A good example of these are:

• Alaska Airlines - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and cleaning with disinfectant.
• Delta - this airline is known for electrostatic cleaning and cleaning with disinfectant.
• Southwest Airlines - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and cleaning with disinfectant.
