What are some of the general tips for travellers to Hunter Valley during the COVID-19 outbreak?
COVID-19 has triggered substantial changes to how we travel. If you're flying to Hunter Valley, the following tips will help you navigate the "new normal:"
  • Before you book a flight, find out if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get up-to-date information by checking government travel advisories.
  • Wear a face mask during airport screening. A TSA employee will require you to lower your mask temporarily for ID purposes.
  • To reduce the likelihood of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA agent.
  • One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on luggage. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag for screening.
  • Empty your personal items from your pockets, like your wallet and phone, and place them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
  • Separate any food you have for 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 handle and inspect your belongings.
