Elbow Cay Holidays

As a result of COVID-19, travelling today comes with a few more challenges. Read through these useful tips before jumping on your plane to Elbow Cay:

• Know if any restrictions apply to both your destination and origin. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so be sure to check in advance.
• When you go through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be asked to lower it briefly for ID purposes. Anyone refusing to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the building.
• To reduce the potential of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA agent.
• TSA now allows passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on baggage. This will need to be removed from your bag for X-ray scanning.
• Remove items from your pockets, like your phone, keys and wallet, and put them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
• Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping food separate from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA agent will need to open your bag for inspection.
