Kouri Island Holidays

The COVID-19 pandemic has ushered in huge changes to how we travel. If you plan to visit Kouri Island, these tips will help you navigate these new challenges:

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before locking in a flight. Also check if there are any requirements you'll have to follow on arrival, such as installing a contact tracing app.
• You must wear a face mask at the airport, including at security checkpoints. Be prepared to adjust your mask for identification purposes when asked by a TSA employee.
• Instead of handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, position it directly on the scanner yourself. After that, hold it up for inspection.
• One liquid hand sanitizer container is now permitted in your carry-on baggage. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to take it out of your bag for scanning.
• Remove items from your pocket, such as your phone, keys and wallet, and put them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will reduce handling during screening.
• Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA agent will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
