What are some of the general tips for travellers to Kona Coast during the COVID-19 outbreak?
COVID-19 may have changed the way we travel, but it hasn't curbed our enthusiasm for exploring. Here are some tips on how to navigate the new challenges of travelling:
  • Before booking anything, check if any travel restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Get up-to-date information by reviewing government and airport websites.
  • Requirements state that you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at security checkpoints. Be ready to lower your mask for ID purposes when asked by a TSA employee.
  • Instead of handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, place it directly on the scanner yourself. After that, hold it up for inspection.
  • One liquid hand sanitizer container is now permitted in your carry-on baggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag for scanning.
  • Remove items from your pockets, such as your keys, phone and wallet, and place them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
  • Separate any food you're carrying for screening. Placing it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA employee to touch and inspect your belongings.
