Caribbean Coast Vacations

If it's your first time traveling during the COVID-19 pandemic, you'll notice new restrictions and rules in place. Follow these tips and make your trip to Caribbean Coast go off without a hitch:

• Before booking anything, check if any travel restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Get up-to-date information by checking government and airport websites.
• Requirements state that you must wear a face mask at the airport, including at security checkpoints. Be ready to adjust your mask for identification purposes when asked by a TSA officer.
• Instead of handing a TSA agent 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 allowed in your carry-on baggage. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to take it out of your bag for scanning.
• To minimize handling during screening, place personal items such as your keys, wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on rather than the bins.
• Transport your food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Keeping food separate from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA employee will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
