Shire of Beaudesert Holidays

COVID-19 has transformed the world in endless ways, including how and where we travel. These tips will help you understand the new challenges and get you ready for your escape to Shire of Beaudesert:

• Look into what rules and restrictions apply to both your destination and origin. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so remember to check government advisories before booking.
• Requirements state that you must wear a face mask at the airport, including at security checkpoints. Be prepared to lower your mask to verify your identity when asked by a TSA officer.
• To avoid cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA agent.
• TSA now allows passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on bags. This will need to be removed from your bag for scanning.
• To minimize handling during the screening process, place items such as your keys, wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on instead of into the bins.
• Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA employee will need to open your bag for inspection.
