Badian Island Holidays

The COVID-19 outbreak has brought about dramatic changes to the way we travel. If you're planning a trip to Badian Island, the following tips will help you navigate this new travelling reality:

• Before locking in your flight, check if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your origin and destination. Get up-to-date information by reviewing government and airport websites.
• When you go through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be required to briefly lower it for ID purposes. Those who refuse to wear a mask may be denied entry or boarding.
• To reduce the likelihood of 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 officer.
• One liquid hand sanitizer container is now permitted in your carry-on bag. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to take it out of your bag for X-ray scanning.
• Remove personal items from your pocket, like your small change and phone, and place them in your carry-on rather than into bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
• Transport your food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Keeping food separate from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA agent will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
