Catawba Island Packages (Flight + Hotel)

The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed the world in endless ways, including how we're able to travel safely. These tips will help you understand the new challenges and get you ready for your holiday in Catawba Island:

• Look into the restrictions and rules in both your destination and origin. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so make sure you check before you lock in your flight.
• Wear a face mask even during airport screening. A TSA officer will ask you to adjust your mask to verify your identity.
• Do not hand your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA employee. Rather, place your pass on the reader and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually 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 have to take it out of your bag at the X-ray machine for screening.
• Remove items from your pocket, like your wallet, phone and small change, and place them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
• Transport your food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA officer will need to open your bag for inspection.

Take to the airways now and you'll likely see that things have changed. For instance, many airlines have introduced social distancing rules and improved hygiene standards. A couple of good examples are:

• American Airlines - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and cleaning with disinfectant.
• Allegiant Air - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and cleaning with disinfectant.
