Vianen Holidays from AU$1,077

With the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, travelling today comes with a few additional challenges. Cast your eye over these handy tips before boarding your flight to Vianen:

• Find out the restrictions and rules in both your destination and origin. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so be sure to check before you lock something in.
• When you go through airport checkpoints, do not remove your face mask. You will be required to lower it briefly for identification purposes. Travellers who refuse to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be denied boarding.
• Instead of handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, place it directly on the reader yourself. Then, hold it up for inspection.
• You are now allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your hand luggage. You'll have to remove it for X-ray scanning.
• Put any personal items (like your phone and wallet) in your carry-on rather than a bin to reduce handling during the screening process.
• Separate any food you have for X-ray screening. Food items often trigger the alarm. Putting them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA employee to touch and inspect your belongings.
