Flinders Island Holidays

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 pandemic, you'll notice a few more restrictions and standards in place. Take note of these tips and make your getaway to Flinders Island go off without a hitch:

• Before booking anything, see if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Stay informed with the latest updates by checking government websites.
• When you go through airport screening, keep your face mask on. You will be required to briefly lower it for identification purposes. Travellers who refuse to wear a face mask may be fined and denied entry.
• To avoid cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA agent.
• One liquid hand sanitizer container is now allowed in your carry-on luggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag for scanning.
• Empty your personal items from your pockets, like your wallet, coins and keys, and place them in your carry-on instead of into bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
• Separate any food you're carrying for X-ray screening. Putting it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to touch and inspect your belongings.
