Tashirojima Holidays

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, travelling now comes with more challenges. Take a look at these useful tips before jumping on your plane to Tashirojima:

• Research if any restrictions apply to both your origin and destination. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so make sure you check before you book.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask at the airport, including at security checkpoints. Be prepared to lower your mask for identification purposes when asked.
• Rather than handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, place it directly on the reader yourself. Once that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• TSA now allows passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on luggage. This will have to be removed from your bag at the X-ray machine for scanning.
• Put any personal items (phone, keys and wallet) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during screening.
• If you're bringing food on the plane with you, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
