Piers Island Vacations from ￥142,228

COVID-19 has transformed how the world works in ways big and small, and travel has changed with it. These tips will help you understand these new challenges and get you ready for your vacation in Piers Island:

• Before you lock in a flight, find out if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your destination and origin. Stay informed with the latest updates by checking government and airport websites.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at security checkpoints. Be ready to lower your mask to verify your identity when asked by a TSA employee.
• Do not hand your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA employee. Rather, position your pass on the scanner and then hold it up so the agent can inspect it.
• TSA is now permitting passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on bags. This will have to be removed from your bag for X-ray scanning.
• To reduce handling during screening, place personal items such as your phone, keys and wallet into your carry-on instead of into the bins.
• If you're taking food through the security checkpoint, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
