Pamban Island Holidays

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 pandemic, you'll no doubt notice a few more regulations and rules in place. Follow these tips and make your escape to Pamban Island a smooth one:

• Before locking in your flight, see if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Stay informed with the latest updates by checking official government websites.
• 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.
• Do not hand your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA officer. Rather, you should position the pass on the reader and then hold it up for the agent to visually inspect it.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on bag. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to take it out of your bag for screening.
• Remove personal items from your pockets, such as your wallet, keys and phone, and put them in your carry-on rather than into bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
• If you're bringing food through security screening, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.
