Jamestown Island Holidays

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to major changes to the way we travel. If you're flying to Jamestown Island, these tips will help you navigate travel's newest challenges:

• Before booking your flight, see if any travel restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Get the latest updates by reviewing government and airport websites.
• When you pass through airport screening, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to lower it briefly for ID purposes. Anyone refusing to wear a mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the terminal.
• You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA officer. Rather, position the pass on the scanner and then hold it up so the agent can inspect it.
• One liquid hand sanitizer container is now permitted in your carry-on luggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to take it out of your bag for X-ray screening.
• To minimize handling during screening, place personal items such as your phone, wallet and keys into your carry-on rather than the bins.
• If you're planning to take food on board, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for closer inspection.
