Pintada Island Holidays

With the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, travelling now comes with a few more challenges. Keep in mind these handy tips before hopping on your flight to Pintada Island:

• Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before locking in your flight. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as mandatory quarantining.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask at the airport, including at security checkpoints. Be prepared to lower your mask for ID purposes when asked by a TSA employee.
• Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee. Instead, you should place the pass on the scanner and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
• You're allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. You'll need to remove it for X-ray screening.
• Remove personal items from your pockets, such as your wallet and phone, and place them in your carry-on instead of into bins. This will reduce handling during screening.
• Separate any food you have 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.
