Tiran Island Holidays

The COVID-19 outbreak has changed how the world works in all kinds of ways, including our approach to travel. These tips will help you understand the new challenges and prepare you for your escape to Tiran Island:

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before booking. Also check if there are any requirements you'll need to follow on arrival, such as installing a contact tracing app.
• When you pass through airport screening, keep your face mask on. You will be required to lower it briefly for identification purposes. Travellers who refuse to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be denied boarding.
• Rather than handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, position it directly on the scanner yourself. After that, hold it up for inspection.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on bag. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag for scanning.
• Empty your personal items from your pocket, such as your wallet, phone and small change, and put them in your carry-on rather than into bins. This will reduce handling during screening.
• If you're taking food on the plane with you, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
