Sibuyan Island Holidays

With new safety guidelines in effect, travel looks a bit different in this day and age. Here are a few things to know before you hop on that plane to Sibuyan Island:

• Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before locking in your flight. Also check if there are any requirements you'll need to follow on arrival, such as testing and quarantining.
• Wear a face mask even during airport screening. A TSA employee will ask you to temporarily lower your mask to verify your identity.
• Rather than handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, place it directly on the reader yourself. When that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• TSA is now allowing passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on luggage. This will have to be removed from your bag for X-ray screening.
• Empty your personal items from your pocket, such as your wallet, phone and small change, and put them in your carry-on instead of into bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
• Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping food separate from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA agent will need to open your bag for inspection.
