Ap Lei Chau Holidays

COVID-19 has resulted in significant changes to the way we travel. If you're planning a holiday in Ap Lei Chau, the following tips will help you navigate these new challenges and rules:

• Before booking anything, see if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Get up-to-date information by reviewing government and airport websites.
• When you go through airport screening, keep your face mask on. You will be required to lower it briefly for identification purposes. Anyone refusing to wear a mask may be fined and denied boarding.
• Do not hand your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA officer. Instead, place your pass on the reader and then hold it up for the agent to visually inspect it.
• You are now permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on luggage. You'll have to remove it for screening.
• Empty everything from your pocket, such as your small change and phone, and put them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
• Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Keeping food separate from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA agent will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.

To reduce contact between passengers and aircrew for the remainder of the COVID-19 pandemic, most airlines have taken social distancing and other measures to the skies. A good example of these are:

• Cathay Pacific - this airline is known for conducting passenger temperature checks and cleaning with disinfectant.
• Hong Kong Express - this airline is known for cleaning with disinfectant and providing passenger masks.
• EVA Air - this airline is known for conducting passenger temperature checks and cleaning with disinfectant.
