Guaiba Island Vacations

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in big changes to how we travel. If you plan to visit Guaiba Island, the following tips will help you navigate travel's newest challenges:

• Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before locking in your flight. Also check if there are any conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as mandatory quarantining.
• Keep your face mask on during airport screening. A TSA employee will require you to adjust your mask for identification purposes.
• Do not hand your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA officer. Rather, you should place the pass on the reader and then hold it up for inspection.
• You are now permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on luggage. This will need to be taken out for X-ray scanning.
• Remove items from your pockets, like your wallet, coins and keys, and place them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
• If you want to take food through the screening checkpoint, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.
