Cousins Island Holidays

COVID-19 has affected how the world works in so many ways, including how and where we're able to travel. The following tips will help you understand the new challenges and get you ready for your flight to Cousins Island:

• Know what rules and restrictions apply to both your origin and destination. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so be sure to check in advance.
• Requirements state that you must wear a face mask at the airport, including at security checkpoints. Be ready to adjust your mask for identification purposes when asked.
• To reduce the likelihood of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA officer.
• You're permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. You'll have to remove it for X-ray scanning.
• Remove items from your pocket, such as 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're carrying for screening. Food items often set off the alarm. Placing them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to handle and inspect your belongings.
