Ogami Island Holidays

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected how the world works in so many ways, and travel has changed with it. The following tips will help you better understand these new challenges and prepare you for your journey to Ogami Island:

• Before booking anything, see if any travel restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Stay informed with the latest updates by reviewing government websites.
• When you pass through airport checkpoints, do not remove your face mask. You will be asked to briefly lower it for ID purposes. Passengers who refuse to wear a face mask may be denied entry or boarding.
• Instead of handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, place it directly on the scanner yourself. Once that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• You're 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.
• Remove items from your pockets, such as your wallet, phone and small change, and put them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
• If you're taking food on board, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for closer inspection.
