Ko Phi Phi Don Holidays

Due to the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 outbreak, travelling today comes with a few more challenges. Make a note of these helpful tips before hopping on your flight to Ko Phi Phi Don:

• Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before locking in your flight. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as undergoing health assessments.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask at the airport, including at screening checkpoints. Be ready to lower your mask to verify your identity when asked by a TSA employee.
• To reduce the possibility of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee.
• TSA is now allowing 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.
• To reduce handling during the screening process, place personal items such as your belt, phone and wallet into your carry-on instead of the bins.
• If you want to take food through the security checkpoint, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.
