Tasman Peninsula Holidays

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 outbreak, you'll notice a host of new regulations and rules in place. Follow these tips and make your escape to Tasman Peninsula go off without a hitch:

• Before you lock in a flight, check if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your origin and destination. Get up-to-date information by reviewing government travel advisories.
• When you pass through airport checkpoints, do not remove your face mask. You will be required to lower it briefly for identification purposes. Those who refuse to wear a mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the building.
• Do not hand your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA officer. Rather, you should place the pass on the scanner and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
• One liquid hand sanitizer container is now allowed in your carry-on luggage. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to take it out of your bag for screening.
• Remove items from your pockets, like your keys, phone and wallet, and place them in your carry-on instead of into bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
• 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 means it's less likely a TSA officer will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
