Randall's Island Holidays from AU$2,931

With the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, travelling now comes with greater challenges. Take a look at these useful tips before hopping on your flight to Randall's Island:

• Before booking anything, check if any travel restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get the latest updates by reviewing government and airport websites.
• Requirements state that you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at security checkpoints. Be prepared to lower your mask to verify your identity when asked.
• To avoid cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA agent.
• TSA now permits passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on luggage. This will have to be removed from your bag for screening.
• To reduce handling during screening, place personal items such as your phone and loose change into your carry-on instead of into the bins.
• If you want to take food on the plane, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
