Manitoulin Island Holidays

The COVID-19 outbreak has affected how the world works in all kinds of ways, including how we're able to travel safely. These tips will help you navigate the new challenges and prepare you for your escape to Manitoulin Island:

• Know what rules and restrictions apply to both your destination and origin. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so make sure you check before you book.
• When you pass through airport checkpoints, do not remove your face mask. You will be required to briefly lower it to verify your identity. Passengers who refuse to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the building.
• To minimize the risk of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA officer.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on luggage. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to take it out of your bag for screening.
• Place any personal items (e.g, keys, phone and coins) in your carry-on rather than a bin to reduce handling during the screening process.
• Separate any food you have for X-ray scanning. Placing it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to touch and inspect your belongings.
