Upper Matecumbe Key Holidays

COVID-19 has brought about significant changes to how we travel. If you're planning a holiday in Upper Matecumbe Key, these tips will help you navigate travel's newest challenges:

• Look into if any restrictions apply to both your origin and destination. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so be sure to check before you book.
• When you go through airport checkpoints, do not remove your face mask. You will be asked to lower it briefly to confirm your identity. Those who refuse to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the terminal.
• Instead of handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, position it straight on the scanner yourself. When that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• One liquid hand sanitizer container is now permitted in your carry-on luggage. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to remove it from your bag for X-ray screening.
• Put any personal items (phone, wallet and keys for example) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during screening.
• Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA officer will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
