Hutchinson Island Holidays

The COVID-19 outbreak has led to substantial changes to the way we travel. If you plan to visit Hutchinson Island, the following tips will help you navigate these new rules and challenges:

• Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before locking in your flight. Also check if there are any requirements you'll have to follow on arrival, such as mandatory quarantining.
• When you go through airport screening, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to briefly lower it for identification purposes. Those who refuse to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the terminal.
• Instead of handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, position it straight on the scanner yourself. When that's done, 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 and submitted for screening.
• Put any personal items (e.g, keys, phone and coins) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during screening.
• Separate any food you're carrying for screening. Food items often trigger the alarm. Putting them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to handle and inspect your belongings.
