Al Reem Island Holidays

With the ongoing impacts of COVID-19, travelling now comes with greater challenges. Have a read over these helpful tips before hopping on your flight to Al Reem Island:

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before locking in your flight. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as mandatory quarantining.
• When you go through airport checkpoints, do not remove your face mask. You will be asked to lower it briefly for ID purposes. Passengers who refuse to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the terminal.
• Do not hand your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA officer. Rather, you should position the pass on the scanner and then hold it up for the agent to visually inspect it.
• You're allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on luggage. This will need to be taken out for X-ray scanning.
• Put any personal items (e.g, wallet, keys and phone) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during the screening process.
• If you're taking food on the plane, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
