Travel to Unguja

COVID-19 may have changed how we travel, but it hasn't curbed our zeal for exploring. Here are a few tips on how to deal with travel's new challenges:

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before locking in a flight. Also check if there are any conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as installing a contact tracing app.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask at the airport, including at security checkpoints. Be ready to lower your mask for ID verification when asked by a TSA employee.
• To avoid cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA officer.
• You can take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on luggage. This will need to be taken out for X-ray screening.
• To reduce handling during the screening process, put items such as your wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on instead of the bins.
• If you're taking food through the screening checkpoint, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.
