Taketomi Island Holidays

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about dramatic changes to how we travel. If you're planning a holiday in Taketomi Island, the following tips will help you navigate this new travelling reality:

• Understand what, if any, rules or restrictions apply to both your origin and destination. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so make sure you check before you book.
• When you pass through airport checkpoints, keep your face mask on. You will be required to briefly lower it for ID purposes. Those who refuse to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the terminal.
• You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee. Instead, place your pass on the scanner and then hold it up for inspection.
• One liquid hand sanitizer container is now allowed in your carry-on luggage. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to take it out of your bag for scanning.
• Put any personal items (like your phone, wallet and keys) in your carry-on rather than a bin to reduce handling during screening.
• If you want to take food through the screening checkpoint, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for closer inspection.
