Kuroshima Island Holidays

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

• Before locking in your flight, check if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get the latest updates by reviewing government and travel websites.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask at the airport, including at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to adjust your mask for ID purposes when asked.
• You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA officer. Rather, you should place the pass on the reader and then hold it up for the agent to visually inspect it.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on luggage. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to take it out of your bag for X-ray screening.
• Put any personal items (keys, wallet and phone) in your carry-on instead of a bin to reduce handling during the screening process.
• If you're bringing food through the security checkpoint, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
