Isla Grande Holidays

Due to the ongoing effects of COVID-19, travelling today comes with greater challenges. Cast your eye over these useful tips before jumping on your plane to Isla Grande:

• Before committing to anything, check if any travel restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Keep informed with the latest updates by reviewing government and airport websites.
• Requirements state that you must wear a face mask at the airport, even 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 pass directly to a TSA employee.
• You can now take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your hand luggage. You'll have to remove it for X-ray scanning.
• To minimize handling during the screening process, place personal items such as your belt, phone and wallet into your carry-on rather than into the bins.
• If you're taking food on the plane with you, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
