Caye Caulker Marine Reserve Vacations

With strict COVID-19 precautions in effect, travel looks a lot different nowadays. These are some handy things to know before you get on that plane to Caye Caulker Marine Reserve:

• Understand the restrictions and rules in both your origin and destination. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so remember to check before you book.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at screening checkpoints. Be ready to adjust your mask for identification purposes when asked by a TSA employee.
• You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer. Instead, you should place the pass on the scanner and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
• TSA now allows passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on luggage. This will have to be removed from your bag and presented for screening.
• Place any personal items (phone, wallet and keys for example) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during screening.
• Separate any food you're carrying for X-ray scanning. Food items often trigger the alarm. Putting them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to handle and inspect your belongings.
