Chiloe Island Holidays

The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered major changes to the way we travel. If you plan to jet off to Chiloe Island, the following tips will help you navigate these new challenges and rules:

• Before you book a flight, check if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Stay informed with the latest updates by reviewing government travel advisories.
• You must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to lower your mask for ID verification when asked.
• To decrease the risk of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer.
• 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 removed for screening.
• To minimize handling during screening, place personal items such as your phone, wallet and keys into your carry-on rather than the bins.
• Separate any food you have for X-ray screening. Placing it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to handle and inspect your belongings.

Travel by plane now and you're sure to see that things have changed. For instance, many carriers have brought in social distancing and improved hygiene measures. A couple of good examples are:

• LATAM Airlines - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and capped capacity flights.
• Sky Airline - this airline is known for conducting passenger temperature checks and cleaning with disinfectant.
