San Carlos Island Holidays

In the face of COVID-19, travelling today comes with greater challenges. Keep in mind the following information before jumping on your flight to San Carlos Island:

• Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before committing to a flight. Also check if there are any requirements you'll have to follow on arrival, such as taking a COVID-19 test.
• Requirements state that you must wear a face mask at the airport, including at security checkpoints. You should be prepared to adjust your mask for ID purposes when asked.
• Do not hand your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA officer. Instead, you should position the pass on the scanner and then hold it up for inspection.
• TSA now allows passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on baggage. This will have to be removed from your bag for X-ray scanning.
• Put any personal items (e.g, keys, phone and wallet) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during screening.
• Separate any food you have for X-ray scanning. Food items often trigger the alarm. Putting them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to touch and inspect your belongings.
