Biak Island Holidays

With the ongoing impacts of COVID-19  travelling today comes with a few more challenges than usual. Make a note of these helpful tips before jumping on your plane to Biak Island:

• Look into what, if any, rules or restrictions apply to both your origin and destination. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so check before you book your flight.
• You must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at security checkpoints. Be ready to lower your mask for ID purposes when asked by a TSA employee.
• To reduce the risk of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA employee.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on bag. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag for scanning.
• To minimize handling during screening, put items such as your phone, keys and wallet into your carry-on rather than the bins.
• 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.
