Travel to Dog Island

With strict COVID-19 precautions in place, travel looks a lot different these days. Here's what you need to know before you get on that plane to Dog Island:

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before booking. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as health testing.
• Requirements state that you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at security checkpoints. Be prepared to adjust your mask for ID verification when asked by a TSA officer.
• Instead of handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, position it straight on the reader yourself. After that, hold it up for inspection.
• You can now take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. This will need to be removed for X-ray scanning.
• To reduce handling during the screening process, place items such as your phone, keys and wallet into your carry-on instead of the bins.
• Transport your 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 employee will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
