COVID-19 has changed how the world works in countless ways, including our approach to travel. The following tips will help you understand the new challenges and prepare you for your journey to Ko Yao Yai:
  • Before locking in your flight, check if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your origin and destination. Stay informed with the latest updates by checking government travel advisories.
  • When you pass through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be asked to briefly lower it for ID purposes. Those who refuse to wear a face mask may be fined and denied boarding.
  • You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer. Rather, you should place the pass on the reader and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
  • One liquid hand sanitizer container is now allowed in your carry-on luggage. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to take it out of your bag at the X-ray machine for screening.
  • To reduce handling during the screening process, put items such as your loose change and phone into your carry-on instead of into the bins.
  • 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 officer to touch and inspect your belongings.
