Prince of Wales Island Holidays

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in major changes to the way we travel. If you plan to jet off to Prince of Wales Island, these tips will help you navigate this new travelling reality:

• Investigate what, if any, rules or restrictions apply to both your origin and destination. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so make sure you check in advance.
• You're required to wear a face mask at the airport, including at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to lower your mask to verify your identity when asked.
• Instead of handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, position it straight on the scanner yourself. When that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on bag. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag for X-ray scanning.
• To reduce handling during screening, put items such as your loose change and phone into your carry-on instead of into the bins.
• 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 officer will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
