Ko Yo Holidays

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 outbreak, you'll notice a range of new restrictions and rules in place. Follow these tips and make your trip to Ko Yo a smooth one:

• Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before committing to a flight. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as health testing.
• You're required to wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at security checkpoints. You should be prepared to lower your mask for ID purposes when asked by a TSA employee.
• Rather than handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, place it straight on the scanner yourself. When that's done, 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 luggage. You'll need to remove it for X-ray scanning.
• Remove items from your pockets, such as your phone and wallet, and put them in your carry-on rather than into bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
• If you're planning to take food on board, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.

As lockdowns lift and people start flying again, many airlines have implemented policies such as social distancing to help minimize the spread of COVID-19. Below are some great examples:

• Thai AirAsia - this airline is known for cleaning with disinfectant and conducting passenger temperature checks.
• Nok Air - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and cleaning with disinfectant.
