Andros Island Vacations

COVID-19 has triggered substantial changes to how we travel. If you plan to visit Andros Island, these tips will help you navigate travel's newest challenges:

• Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before booking your flight. Also check if there are any requirements you'll have to follow on arrival, such as mandatory quarantining.
• When you go through airport checkpoints, do not remove your face mask. You will be asked to briefly lower it to confirm your identity. Travelers who refuse to wear a face mask may be fined and denied boarding.
• To reduce the possibility of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA employee.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on baggage. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to remove it from your bag for scanning.
• Put any personal items (e.g, keys, phone and coins) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during the screening process.
• Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA employee will need to open your bag for inspection.
