Lake Windermere Area Holidays from AU$3,079

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 pandemic, you'll notice a host of new restrictions and standards in place. Follow these tips and make your getaway to Lake Windermere a smooth one:

• Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before committing to a flight. Also check if there are any conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as undergoing health assessments.
• Keep your face mask on even during airport screening. A TSA employee will require you to adjust your mask to verify your identity.
• Rather than handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, position it directly on the scanner yourself. When that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on bag. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag for X-ray screening.
• To reduce handling during screening, place personal items such as your phone, wallet and keys into your carry-on instead of into the bins.
• If you're planning to take food through the screening checkpoint, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
