Woody Island Holidays

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in major changes to the way we travel. If you're planning a trip to Woody Island, the following tips will help you navigate travel's newest challenges:

• Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before booking anything. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as undergoing health assessments.
• You're required to wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, even at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to lower your mask for ID verification when asked.
• Avoid handing your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA employee. Instead, you should position the pass on the scanner and then hold it up for inspection.
• You can take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your hand luggage. You'll have to remove it for X-ray screening.
• Place any personal items (like your phone and wallet) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during screening.
• Separate any food you have for X-ray scanning. Putting it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA employee to touch and inspect your belongings.
