Antsiranana Province Holidays

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 outbreak, you'll notice a range of new rules and restrictions in place. Follow these tips and make your escape to Antsiranana Province a smooth one:

• Before committing to anything, find out if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Keep informed with the latest updates by reviewing government websites.
• Wear a face mask even during airport screening. A TSA employee will ask you to lower your mask temporarily to verify your identity.
• Do not hand your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA officer. Rather, you should place the pass on the reader and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on baggage. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to take it out of your bag at the X-ray machine for scanning.
• To reduce handling during screening, place personal items such as your loose change and phone into your carry-on instead of into the bins.
• If you're planning to take food through security screening, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
