Scotland Cay Holidays

With strict COVID-19 precautions in effect, travel looks a lot different at present. Here are a few things to know before you pack your suitcase for Scotland Cay:

• Before you book a flight, find out if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your origin and destination. Get the latest updates by checking government travel advisories.
• When you pass through airport screening, keep your face mask on. You will be required to lower it briefly for ID purposes. Passengers who refuse to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the terminal.
• To reduce the likelihood of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on luggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to remove it from your bag for X-ray scanning.
• Empty everything from your pockets, like your wallet and phone, and put them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
• Transport all 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 your bag for inspection.
