Yasawa Islands Holidays

The COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in major changes to the way we travel. If you're flying to Yasawa Islands, these tips will help you navigate travel's newest challenges:

• Before booking your flight, find out if any travel restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Keep informed with the latest updates by reviewing official government websites.
• Keep your face mask on during airport screening. A TSA officer will ask you to adjust your mask for ID purposes.
• Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer. Instead, position the pass on the scanner and then hold it up so the agent can inspect it.
• You're permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. This will need to be removed for X-ray scanning.
• Place any personal items (e.g, wallet, keys and phone) in your carry-on instead of a bin to reduce handling during the screening process.
• If you're planning to take food through security screening, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
