Santa Cruz Island Packages (Flight + Hotel)

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about big changes to the way we travel. If you're planning an escape to Santa Cruz Island, the following tips will help you navigate this new travelling reality:

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before booking your flight. Also check if there are any requirements you'll have to follow on arrival, such as health testing.
• Wear a face mask even during airport screening. A TSA officer will require you to adjust your mask for identification purposes.
• You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA officer. Rather, you should position the pass on the reader and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
• You are now allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on luggage. This will need to be removed for X-ray scanning.
• To minimize handling during the screening process, place items such as your phone, wallet and keys into your carry-on instead of the bins.
• Separate any food you have for screening. Food items often trigger the alarm. Putting them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to touch and inspect your belongings.

Like most things, plane travel is looking very different nowadays. Airlines worldwide have adopted a range of measures, including social distancing, to slow the spread of COVID-19. Here are some of them:

• LATAM Airlines Ecuador - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and cleaning with disinfectant.
• Avianca - this airline is known for conducting passenger temperature checks and cleaning with disinfectant.
