The COVID-19 outbreak has changed the world in so many ways, including how we're able to safely travel. These tips will help you understand these new challenges and prepare you for your holiday in Southern Great Barrier Reef:
  • Research if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before locking in your flight. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as taking a COVID-19 test.
  • Wear a face mask during airport screening. A TSA employee will require you to lower your mask temporarily to verify your identity.
  • Rather than handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, place it directly on the scanner yourself. After that, hold it up for inspection.
  • You're allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. You'll have to remove it for screening.
  • Remove personal items from your pockets, such as your wallet, keys and phone, and put them in your carry-on rather than into bins. This will reduce handling during screening.
  • If you're taking food on board, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.
