Melody Key Packages (Flight + Hotel)

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 pandemic, you'll notice a raft of new rules and standards in place. Follow these tips and make your trip to Melody Key go off without a hitch:

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before booking anything. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as taking a COVID-19 test.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at screening checkpoints. Be ready to adjust your mask to verify your identity when asked by a TSA officer.
• To avoid cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee.
• You are now permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on luggage. You'll have to remove it for X-ray screening.
• Place any personal items (phone, wallet and keys for example) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during screening.
• If you're taking food through the security checkpoint, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for closer inspection.
