Shire of Chinchilla Trip

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 pandemic, you'll notice a raft of new restrictions and standards in place. Follow these tips and make your escape to Shire of Chinchilla go off without a hitch:

• Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before booking anything. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as mandatory quarantining.
• You're required to wear a face mask at the airport, even at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to adjust your mask for ID purposes when asked by a TSA officer.
• You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA officer. Instead, position the pass on the scanner and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
• You're permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. This will need to be taken out for screening.
• Empty your personal items from your pocket, such as your phone, keys and wallet, and put them in your carry-on instead of into bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
• Separate any food you have for X-ray scanning. 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 handle and inspect your belongings.
