Broomes Island Trip

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about huge changes to how we travel. If you're planning a holiday in Broomes Island, the following tips will help you navigate these new challenges:

• Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before booking anything. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as installing a contact tracing app.
• When you pass through airport screening, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to lower it briefly to verify your identity. Travellers who refuse to wear a mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the terminal.
• Instead of handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, position it straight on the scanner yourself. After that, hold it up for inspection.
• 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 have to be removed from your bag for X-ray scanning.
• To reduce handling during screening, place items such as your phone, keys and wallet into your carry-on rather than into the bins.
• Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Keeping food separate from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA employee will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
