What are some of the general tips for travellers to Moreton Island during the COVID-19 outbreak?
In the era of COVID-19, travelling today comes with some extra challenges. Have a read over these useful tips before boarding your flight to Moreton Island:
  • Understand what, if any, restrictions or rules apply to both your destination and origin. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so be sure to check before you lock in your flight.
  • You must wear a face mask at the airport, including at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to adjust your mask to verify your identity when asked.
  • Do not hand your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA officer. Instead, position the pass on the reader and then hold it up for the agent to visually inspect it.
  • TSA is now permitting passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on luggage. This will need to be removed from your bag for screening.
  • Remove items from your pocket, such as your wallet and phone, and put them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will reduce handling during screening.
  • Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA agent will need to open your bag for inspection.
