Ko Surin Nuea Vacations from ￥116,370

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the world in all kinds of ways, including how we can travel safely. These tips will help you better understand these new challenges and prepare you for your journey to Ko Surin Nuea:

• Before you lock in a flight, find out if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your origin and destination. Keep informed with the latest updates by checking government travel advisories.
• When you go through airport checkpoints, do not remove your face mask. You will be required to briefly lower it to confirm your identity. Anyone refusing to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the terminal.
• Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer. Rather, position the pass on the reader and then hold it up for inspection.
• 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 submitted for screening.
• Put any personal items (phone, wallet and keys) in your carry-on instead of a bin to reduce handling during screening.
• Separate any food you have for X-ray screening. Food items often set off the alarm. Placing them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to handle and inspect your belongings.

In an effort to reduce contact between passengers and flight crew during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, most reputable airlines have taken physical distancing and other strategies to the skies. A good example of these are:

• Thai AirAsia - this airline is known for cleaning with disinfectant and conducting passenger temperature checks.
• Nok Air - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and cleaning with disinfectant.
• Bangkok Airways - this airline is known for cleaning with disinfectant and providing passenger masks.
