Lantau Island Trips (flight + hotel)

With the continued impacts of COVID-19, traveling today comes with a few additional challenges. Cast your eye over these helpful tips before boarding your flight to Lantau Island:

• Before booking anything, see if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get up-to-date information by reviewing official government websites.
• Requirements state that you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, even at screening checkpoints. Be ready to lower your mask for ID verification when asked by a TSA employee.
• Do not hand your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA officer. Instead, position the pass on the scanner and then hold it up so the agent can inspect it.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on luggage. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag at the X-ray machine for screening.
• Put any personal items (e.g, wallet, keys and phone) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during the screening process.
• Separate any food you have for X-ray scanning. Placing it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to handle and inspect your belongings.
