Jao Island Holidays

The COVID-19 outbreak has transformed how the world works in a profound way, including how we're able to travel safely. These tips will help you navigate the new challenges and prepare you for your trip to Jao Island:

• Before booking anything, see if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your destination and origin. Get up-to-date information by reviewing government travel advisories.
• Requirements state that you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at security checkpoints. Be prepared to adjust your mask to verify your identity when asked by a TSA officer.
• You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA officer. Instead, place your pass on the scanner and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on baggage. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to take it out of your bag for X-ray scanning.
• Remove personal items from your pockets, like your wallet, coins and keys, and place them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
• Separate any food you're carrying for screening. Food items often trigger the alarm. Putting them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to touch and inspect your belongings.
