Gorgona Island Holidays

If it's your first time travelling during COVID-19, you'll no doubt notice a few more restrictions and standards in place. Follow these tips and make your escape to Gorgona Island go off without a hitch:

• Look into what, if any, restrictions or rules apply to both your origin and destination. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so don't forget to check before you book your flight.
• When you go through airport screening, keep your face mask on. You will be required to briefly lower it for identification purposes. Anyone refusing to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the terminal.
• To reduce the potential of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA agent.
• You are now permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your hand luggage. You'll need to remove it for screening.
• Empty everything from your pockets, like your small change and phone, and put them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
• Separate any food you have for screening. Putting it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA employee to touch and inspect your belongings.
