What are some of the general tips for travellers to King Island during the COVID-19 outbreak?
COVID-19 has affected how the world works in so many ways, including how we travel. The following tips will help you understand these new challenges and prepare you for your escape to King Island:
  • Before booking anything, find out if any travel restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Keep informed with the latest updates by reviewing government travel advisories.
  • Keep your face mask on even during airport screening. A TSA officer will ask you to adjust your mask for identification purposes.
  • Avoid handing your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA officer. Rather, position your pass on the scanner and then hold it up so the agent can inspect it.
  • One liquid hand sanitizer container is now allowed in your carry-on bag. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to take it out of your bag at the X-ray machine for screening.
  • Place any personal items (phone, keys and wallet) in your carry-on instead of a bin to reduce handling during screening.
  • If you want to take food on the plane with you, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
