Mare Island Holidays from £853

The COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in substantial changes to the way we travel. If you're flying to Mare Island, the following tips will help you navigate this new travelling reality:

• Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before locking in your flight. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as taking a COVID-19 test.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask at the airport, including at security checkpoints. Be prepared to lower your mask for identification purposes when asked by a TSA employee.
• Instead of handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, place it directly on the scanner yourself. After that, hold it up for inspection.
• TSA is now permitting passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on luggage. This will have to be removed from your bag to be screened.
• Put any personal items (phone, wallet and keys for example) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during screening.
• If you're planning to take food through the screening checkpoint, 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 food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
