What are some of the general tips for travellers to Sakhir during the COVID-19 outbreak?
With strict COVID-19 precautions to follow, travel looks a lot different at the moment. These are some handy things to know before you head off to Sakhir:
  • Before you lock in a flight, see if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get the latest updates by reviewing government and travel websites.
  • When you go through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be required to lower it briefly to confirm your identity. Passengers who refuse to wear a mask may be denied entry or boarding.
  • You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee. Instead, you should position the pass on the scanner and then hold it up so the agent can inspect it.
  • You are now permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. This will need to be taken out for X-ray scanning.
  • Place any personal items (phone, wallet and keys for example) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during screening.
  • Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Keeping food separate from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA officer will need to open your bag for inspection.
