St. George Island Holidays

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the world in endless ways, including how and where we're able to travel. The following tips will help you understand these new challenges and get you ready for your flight to St. George Island:

• Before booking anything, check if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get up-to-date information by checking government websites.
• Requirements state that you must wear a face mask at the airport, including at security checkpoints. You should be prepared to adjust your mask for identification purposes when asked by a TSA officer.
• Instead of handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, place it straight on the reader yourself. Then, 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 bags. This will have to be removed from your bag for X-ray screening.
• Empty your personal items from your pockets, such as your keys, phone and wallet, and put them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will reduce handling during screening.
• Separate any food you have for X-ray screening. Placing it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA employee to touch and inspect your belongings.
