Little Grand Cay Vacations

With new COVID-19 rules and measures in effect, travel looks a lot different in this day and age. Here are some useful things to know before you pack your suitcase for Little Grand Cay:

• Before you book a flight, find out if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your origin and destination. Get up-to-date information by checking official government websites.
• Keep your face mask on even during airport screening. A TSA employee will require you to lower your mask temporarily for ID purposes.
• Instead of handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, position it directly on the scanner yourself. Then, hold it up for inspection.
• TSA is now allowing passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on baggage. This will have to be removed from your bag to be screened.
• Remove personal items from your pockets, like your phone and wallet, and put them in your carry-on instead of into bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
• If you're planning to take food on the plane with you, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
