Alabaster Coast Holidays

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 pandemic, you'll no doubt notice a few more rules and standards in place. Take note of these tips and make your getaway to Alabaster Coast a smooth one:

• Look into what, if any, restrictions or rules apply to both your origin and destination. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so be sure to check in advance.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to adjust your mask for identification purposes when asked.
• Avoid handing your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA employee. Rather, place your pass on the scanner and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
• TSA is now allowing 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 for scanning.
• Remove personal items from your pockets, like your wallet and phone, and put them in your carry-on rather than into bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
• If you're bringing food on board, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
