Sakushima Island Holidays

With new restrictions and safety precautions to follow, travel looks a lot different in this day and age. Here are some useful things to know before you hop on that plane to Sakushima Island:

• Research what, if any, rules or restrictions apply to both your destination and origin. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so don't forget to check before you lock in your flight.
• Keep your face mask on during airport screening. A TSA employee will ask you to lower your mask temporarily to verify your identity.
• Do not hand your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA officer. Instead, place your pass on the scanner and then hold it up to allow 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 remove it from your bag at the X-ray machine for screening.
• Empty your personal items from your pockets, such as your phone and wallet, and put them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
• Transport your food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA employee will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
