Samish Island Packages (Flight + Hotel)

With the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak, travelling now comes with more challenges than usual. Keep in mind the following tips before hopping on your flight to Samish Island:

• Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before booking anything. Also check if there are any conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as testing and quarantining.
• When you pass through airport checkpoints, do not remove your face mask. You will be asked to briefly lower it to verify your identity. Passengers who refuse to wear a mask may be fined and denied boarding.
• Avoid handing your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer. Rather, place your pass on the reader and then hold it up for inspection.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on baggage. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to remove it from your bag for X-ray screening.
• To reduce handling during screening, place personal items such as your phone and loose change into your carry-on rather than into the bins.
• Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA agent will need to open your bag for inspection.
