Zanzibar Vacations

Due to the ongoing effects of COVID-19, traveling now comes with more challenges than in the past. Cast your eye over the following tips before hopping on your plane to Zanzibar:

• Before you lock in a flight, see if any travel restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Stay informed with the latest updates by checking official government websites.
• You must wear a face mask at the airport, including at security checkpoints. Be ready to lower your mask to verify your identity when asked.
• Instead of handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, position it directly on the reader yourself. When that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• TSA now allows passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on luggage. This will need to be removed from your bag and presented for screening.
• Remove personal items from your pockets, such as your wallet, keys and phone, and put them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
• If you want to take food on the plane with you, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
