Upper Island Cove Vacation Packages

The COVID-19 pandemic may have changed the way we travel, but it hasn't stifled our enthusiasm for exploring. Here are a few tips on how to navigate travel's new challenges:

• Before locking in your flight, see if any travel restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Stay informed with the latest updates by reviewing official government websites.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to lower your mask for ID purposes when asked by a TSA officer.
• To avoid cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA employee.
• You're allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on baggage. You'll have to remove it for screening.
• Empty your personal items from your pocket, like your wallet, keys and phone, and place them in your carry-on rather than into bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
• Transport your food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA employee will need to open your bag for inspection.
