Victoria Island Holidays

COVID-19 has changed how the world works in so many ways, including how we travel. The following tips will help you navigate these new challenges and get you ready for your flight to Victoria Island:

• Before you lock in a flight, see if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your destination and origin. Stay informed with the latest updates by checking government and travel websites.
• When you go through airport checkpoints, keep your face mask on. You will be required to briefly lower it for identification purposes. Those who refuse to wear a mask may be fined and denied boarding.
• You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA officer. Instead, position the pass on the scanner and then hold it up so the agent can inspect it.
• You're permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your hand luggage. You'll have to remove it for X-ray scanning.
• Place any personal items (e.g, wallet, keys and phone) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during the screening process.
• Separate any food you're carrying for screening. Putting it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to handle and inspect your belongings.

In order to limit contact between travellers and flight crew during the COVID-19 pandemic, the majority of airlines have taken social distancing and other preventive measures to the skies. A good example of these are:

• Qatar Airways - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and cleaning with disinfectant.
• Lufthansa - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and cleaning with disinfectant.
• Delta - this airline is known for electrostatic cleaning and cleaning with disinfectant.
