South Male Atoll Holidays

If it's your first time travelling during COVID-19, you'll notice new restrictions and rules in place. Follow these tips and make your escape to South Male Atoll a smooth one:

• Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before committing to a flight. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as proof of a negative COVID-19 test.
• Wear a face mask during airport screening. A TSA employee will ask you to lower your mask temporarily to verify your identity.
• To minimize 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 agent.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on luggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag at the X-ray machine for scanning.
• To minimize handling during screening, put items such as your phone, coins and keys into your carry-on instead of the bins.
• Separate any food you're carrying for X-ray screening. Putting it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to touch and inspect your belongings.
