East Canberra Holidays

COVID-19 has changed how the world works in countless ways, including how we travel. The following tips will help you navigate these new challenges and prepare you for your escape to East Canberra:

• Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before committing to a flight. Also check if there are any conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as testing and quarantining.
• When you go through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be required to lower it briefly for ID purposes. Travellers who refuse to wear a face mask may be denied entry or boarding.
• Do not hand your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA officer. Rather, position the pass on the reader and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
• You're permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your hand luggage. You'll have to remove it for screening.
• Put any personal items (like your phone and wallet) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during screening.
• Separate any food you're carrying for X-ray screening. Food items often set off the alarm. Placing them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to touch and inspect your belongings.
