Marajó Island Holidays

COVID-19 has led to dramatic changes to how we travel. If you're planning an escape to Marajó island, these tips will help you navigate this new travelling reality:

• Look into what rules and restrictions apply to both your destination and origin. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so remember to check government advisories before booking.
• Requirements state that you must wear a face mask at the airport, including at security checkpoints. You should be prepared to adjust your mask to verify your identity when asked by a TSA officer.
• To reduce the likelihood of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee.
• You are now permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on luggage. This will need to be removed for X-ray scanning.
• Place any personal items (e.g, keys, phone and wallet) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during the screening process.
• If you're bringing food through security screening, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.
