North Seymour Island Holidays

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 outbreak, you'll no doubt notice a few more rules and regulations in place. Follow these tips and make your trip to North Seymour Island a smooth one:

• Before booking anything, see if any travel restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get up-to-date information by checking government and travel websites.
• When you pass through airport checkpoints, do not remove your face mask. You will be required to lower it briefly to confirm your identity. Passengers who refuse to wear a face mask may be fined and denied boarding.
• Avoid handing your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA employee. Instead, position 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 have to remove it from your bag for X-ray screening.
• To minimize handling during the screening process, put items such as your wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on instead of the bins.
• Separate any food you're carrying for X-ray scanning. Food items often trigger the alarm. Putting them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to handle and inspect your belongings.

Board a plane now and you'll certainly see a few changes. For instance, most airlines have adopted social distancing and improved hygiene standards. A couple of good examples are:

• LATAM Airlines Ecuador - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and cleaning with disinfectant.
• Avianca - this airline is known for conducting passenger temperature checks and cleaning with disinfectant.
