Samar Island Vacations from ￥71,630

If it's your first time traveling during COVID-19, you'll notice a few more standards and rules in place. Take note of these tips and make your journey to Samar Island a smooth one:

• Understand the restrictions and rules in both your origin and destination. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so don't forget to check before you lock in your flight.
• You must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, even at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to adjust your mask to verify your identity when asked.
• Rather than handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, position it directly on the scanner yourself. After that, 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 bags. This will need to be removed from your bag to be screened.
• Place any personal items (phone, wallet and keys) in your carry-on rather than a bin to reduce handling during screening.
• If you're taking food on board, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
