Frequently asked questions

Can I cancel my flight booking to Saona Island due to COVID-19?

What are some of the general tips for travellers to Saona Island during the COVID-19 outbreak?
If it's your first time travelling during COVID-19, you'll notice a raft of new restrictions and rules in place. Take note of these tips and make your trip to Saona Island go off without a hitch:
  • Before booking anything, find out if any travel restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Keep informed with the latest updates by reviewing government travel advisories.
  • Requirements state that you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at screening checkpoints. Be ready to adjust your mask to verify your identity when asked by a TSA officer.
  • To reduce the risk of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA employee.
  • You are now allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on luggage. This will need to be removed for X-ray screening.
  • Remove items from your pocket, like your wallet and phone, and place them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
  • Separate any food you're carrying for X-ray scanning. Food items often set off the alarm. Placing them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to handle and inspect your belongings.
