Island Armona Holidays

COVID-19 has transformed how the world works in so many ways, including how we travel. These tips will help you navigate these new challenges and get you ready for your trip to Island Armona:

• Before booking anything, see if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your origin and destination. Stay informed with the latest updates by reviewing government and travel websites.
• When you go through airport screening, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to briefly lower it to verify your identity. Passengers who refuse to wear a mask may be denied entry or boarding.
• You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA officer. Instead, position your pass on the scanner and then hold it up for inspection.
• You are now allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on luggage. This will need to be taken out for X-ray scanning.
• Put any personal items (keys, wallet and phone) in your carry-on rather than a bin to reduce handling during the screening process.
• Separate any food you have for screening. Food items often trigger the alarm. Putting them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to handle and inspect your belongings.

In an effort to limit contact between passengers and aircrew during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, airlines have taken social distancing and other strategies to the skies. A good example of these are:

• Ryanair - this airline is known for cleaning with disinfectant and providing passenger masks.
• EasyJet - this airline is known for cleaning with disinfectant and providing passenger masks.
• Jet2 - this airline is known for conducting passenger temperature checks and cleaning with disinfectant.
