Panglao Island Holidays

The COVID-19 outbreak has brought about substantial changes to the way we travel. If you're planning an escape to Panglao Island, these tips will help you navigate these new traveling challenges:

• Investigate the restrictions and rules in both your origin and destination. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so be sure to check before you lock in your flight.
• Wear a face mask during airport screening. A TSA employee will ask you to adjust your mask for identification purposes.
• Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer. Instead, position the pass on the reader and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on luggage. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to take it out of your bag at the X-ray machine for scanning.
• Place any personal items (phone, wallet and keys for example) in your carry-on instead of a bin to reduce handling during the screening process.
• Transport your food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA officer will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
