What are some of the general tips for travellers to Catalina Island during the COVID-19 outbreak?
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected how the world works in all sorts of ways, including how and where we travel. These tips will help you navigate the new challenges and prepare you for your flight to Catalina Island:
  • Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before locking in a flight. Also check if there are any requirements you'll have to follow on arrival, such as health testing.
  • Keep your face mask on during airport screening. A TSA officer will ask you to lower your mask temporarily for identification purposes.
  • Avoid handing your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA officer. Instead, place your pass on the reader and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
  • TSA now allows passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on baggage. This will have to be removed from your bag and presented for screening.
  • To minimize handling during screening, place items such as your keys, wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on instead of into the bins.
  • If you're planning to take food through security screening, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
