Hutchinson Island Holidays

With the continuation of the COVID-19 outbreak, travelling now comes with a few additional challenges. Have a read over the following information before jumping on your flight to Hutchinson Island:

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before locking in a flight. Also check if there are any requirements you'll have to follow on arrival, such as installing a contact tracing app.
• When you pass through airport screening, keep your face mask on. You will be required to lower it briefly to verify your identity. Passengers who refuse to wear a mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the terminal.
• To reduce the risk of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA employee.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on bag. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to remove it from your bag at the X-ray machine for scanning.
• Remove personal items from your pockets, like your wallet, keys and phone, and place them in your carry-on instead of into bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
• If you're taking food on board, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.
