Motu Piti Aau Holidays

With strict COVID-19 precautions in effect, travel looks a little different nowadays. Here are some useful things to know before you hop on that plane to Motu Piti Aau:

• Know if any restrictions apply to both your destination and origin. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so remember to check before you book.
• When you go through airport checkpoints, do not remove your face mask. You will be asked to briefly lower it for identification purposes. Travellers who refuse to wear a mask may be fined and denied boarding.
• To reduce the risk of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee.
• You can now take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on baggage. You'll need to remove it for X-ray scanning.
• Remove items from your pockets, like your keys, phone and wallet, and put them in your carry-on instead of into bins. This will reduce handling during screening.
• If you're bringing food through security screening, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
