Hatoma Island Holidays from AU$1,683

With new COVID-19 rules and measures to adhere to, travel looks a little different these days. Here's what you need to know before you get on that plane to Hatoma Island:

• Find out what, if any, rules or restrictions apply to both your destination and origin. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so make sure you check government advisories before booking.
• Wear a face mask even during airport screening. A TSA officer will require you to adjust your mask for ID purposes.
• To reduce the likelihood of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA officer.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on luggage. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to take it out of your bag at the X-ray machine for scanning.
• Remove items from your pockets, like your phone, keys and wallet, and put them in your carry-on instead of into bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
• Transport all 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 agent will need to open your bag for inspection.
