What are some of the general tips for travellers to Garden Route during the COVID-19 outbreak?
As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, travelling now comes with a few additional challenges. Take a look at these handy tips before boarding your plane to Garden Route:
  • Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before committing to a flight. Also check if there are any conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as taking a COVID-19 test.
  • When you go through airport checkpoints, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to briefly lower it for identification purposes. Those who refuse to wear a face mask may be fined and denied boarding.
  • Avoid handing your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA employee. Rather, position the pass on the reader and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
  • You're allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your hand luggage. You'll have to remove it for X-ray scanning.
  • Empty everything from your pocket, like your keys, phone and wallet, and put them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
  • Separate any food you have for X-ray screening. Placing it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to touch and inspect your belongings.
