Toelzer Land Holidays from AU$2,896

In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, travelling today comes with a few extra challenges. Read through these handy tips before hopping on your plane to Toelzer Land:

• Investigate the restrictions and rules in both your destination and origin. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so check government advisories before booking.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at security checkpoints. Be prepared to adjust your mask for ID verification when asked by a TSA employee.
• Instead of handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, position it directly on the scanner yourself. When that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• You are now permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. This will need to be taken out for screening.
• Put any personal items (phone, wallet and keys) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during the screening process.
• If you're planning to take food on the plane, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
