The day of the 15th, when the room was serviced, a few things were not done. I had to request tea bags, hand towels, etc. For a Hilton Hotel at $260 per night, I was slightly disappointed. Next time I stay in Cairns, I will choose another hotel. Buffet breakfast was excellent

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 pandemic, you'll notice a raft of new rules and standards in place. Take note of these tips and make your getaway to Cape York Peninsula go off without a hitch:
  • Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before locking in a flight. Also check if there are any requirements you'll have to follow on arrival, such as testing and quarantining.
  • When you pass through airport checkpoints, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to lower it briefly to verify your identity. Travellers who refuse to wear a face mask may be fined and denied entry.
  • Instead of handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, place it straight on the reader yourself. After that, hold it up for inspection.
  • One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on baggage. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to remove it from your bag for scanning.
  • To minimize handling during screening, put items such as your phone, coins and keys into your carry-on instead of the bins.
  • If you're bringing food through the security checkpoint, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
