South Caicos Island Vacation Packages

The COVID-19 outbreak has ushered in big changes to the way we travel. If you're planning an escape to South Caicos Island, these tips will help you navigate these new rules and challenges:

• Before you book a flight, find out if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Keep informed with the latest updates by reviewing government travel advisories.
• Keep your face mask on even during airport screening. A TSA officer will ask you to adjust your mask to verify your identity.
• To reduce the possibility of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA agent.
• 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 need to be removed from your bag to be screened.
• Empty your personal items from your pockets, like your wallet, phone and small change, and place them in your carry-on instead of into bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
• Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA agent will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
