"It was good enough. I understand we are in the middle of nowhere but it just was a little lack lustre for the price. I also believe the food outlets could be improved. make sure you book restaurants in advance to ensure you can get in somewhere to eat."

What are some of the general tips for travellers to Central during the COVID-19 outbreak?
Due to the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, travelling today comes with greater challenges. Keep in mind these valuable tips before hopping on your plane to Central:
  • Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before locking in your flight. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as proof of a negative COVID-19 test.
  • You must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to lower your mask for ID verification when asked by a TSA officer.
  • Instead of handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, place it straight on the reader yourself. After that, 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 for X-ray screening.
  • To reduce handling during the screening process, put items such as your loose change and phone into your carry-on instead of the bins.
  • Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA agent will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
