Conanicut Island Holidays

The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed how the world works in all sorts of ways, including how and where we're able to travel. The following tips will help you navigate these new challenges and prepare you for your holiday in Conanicut Island:

• Before committing to anything, find out if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your origin and destination. Keep informed with the latest updates by reviewing government and airport websites.
• When you go through airport screening, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to lower it briefly to confirm your identity. Those who refuse to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be denied boarding.
• Instead of handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, position it directly on the reader yourself. Then, hold it up for inspection.
• TSA is now allowing passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on bags. This will have to be removed from your bag for scanning.
• Empty everything from your pockets, like your phone, keys and wallet, and place them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will reduce handling during screening.
• Separate any food you have for X-ray screening. Food items often trigger the alarm. Putting them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA employee to handle and inspect your belongings.
