Shire of Johnstone Holidays

In the era of the COVID-19 pandemic, travelling now comes with more challenges than in the past. Take a look at these worthwhile tips before hopping on your plane to Shire of Johnstone:

• Look into what rules and restrictions apply to both your origin and destination. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so check before you book.
• You must wear a face mask at the airport, even at screening checkpoints. Be ready to lower your mask for ID verification when asked by a TSA employee.
• To minimize the risk of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA officer.
• TSA is now permitting 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 screening.
• Place any personal items (e.g, wallet, keys and phone) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during screening.
• Separate any food you have for screening. Food items often trigger the alarm. Putting them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to touch and inspect your belongings.
