Jones Beach Island Holidays

In the face of the COVID-19 outbreak, travelling now comes with greater challenges. Keep in mind these useful tips before boarding your flight to Jones Beach Island:

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before booking anything. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as testing and quarantining.
• Wear a face mask during airport screening. A TSA officer will ask you to adjust your mask to verify your identity.
• 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 boarding pass directly to a TSA employee.
• TSA now permits passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on baggage. This will have to be removed from your bag for X-ray screening.
• To reduce handling during screening, put items such as your belt, phone and wallet into your carry-on rather than the bins.
• Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA employee will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
