Daphne Islands Trips (flight + hotel)

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the world in countless ways, including how and where we travel. The following tips will help you better understand the new challenges and prepare you for your escape to Daphne Islands:

• Before booking anything, check if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get the latest updates by reviewing official government websites.
• You must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at security checkpoints. You should be prepared to lower your mask for ID verification when asked by a TSA employee.
• Rather than handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, position it directly on the reader yourself. Once that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• You're permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on baggage. You'll have to remove it for X-ray scanning.
• To minimize handling during the screening process, place items such as your belt, phone and wallet into your carry-on instead of the bins.
• Separate any food you're carrying for screening. Food items often set off the alarm. Placing them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to handle and inspect your belongings.

Board a plane now and you'll probably notice a few changes. For instance, most reputable carriers have introduced social distancing rules and improved hygiene measures. Two great examples are:

• LATAM Airlines Ecuador - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and cleaning with disinfectant.
• Avianca - this airline is known for conducting passenger temperature checks and cleaning with disinfectant.
