Puná Island Holidays

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the world in ways big and small, including how we can travel safely. The following tips will help you navigate the new challenges and prepare you for your flight to Puná Island:

• Before booking anything, find out if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your destination and origin. Get up-to-date information by reviewing government and travel websites.
• You're required to wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at security checkpoints. Be prepared to lower your mask for ID verification when asked by a TSA officer.
• Avoid handing your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer. Instead, you should position the pass on the scanner and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
• You can 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.
• Put any personal items (e.g, keys, phone and wallet) in your carry-on instead of a bin to reduce handling during the screening process.
• If you're bringing food on the plane, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
