What are some of the general tips for travellers to Margarita Island during the COVID-19 outbreak?
If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 outbreak, you'll notice a raft of new standards and rules in place. Follow these tips and make your escape to Margarita Island go off without a hitch:
  • Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before committing to a flight. Also check if there are any conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as taking a COVID-19 test.
  • When you go through airport screening, keep your face mask on. You will be required to lower it briefly to verify your identity. Passengers who refuse to wear a face 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 employee. Instead, you should position the pass on the reader and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
  • TSA now allows passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on luggage. This will have to be removed from your bag for X-ray screening.
  • Empty everything from your pocket, like your phone and wallet, and put them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
  • Transport any 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 employee will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
