Shire of Kilkivan Trip

COVID-19 has brought about substantial changes to the way we travel. If you plan to jet off to Shire of Kilkivan, these tips will help you navigate this new travelling reality:

• Before you book a flight, check if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your origin and destination. Get up-to-date information by checking government and travel websites.
• You must wear a face mask at the airport, including at security checkpoints. You should be prepared to adjust your mask for ID verification when asked.
• Instead of handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, place it straight on the scanner yourself. Then, hold it up for inspection.
• One liquid hand sanitizer container is now permitted in your carry-on luggage. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to take it out of your bag at the X-ray machine for scanning.
• To reduce handling during screening, put items such as your loose change and phone into your carry-on rather than into the bins.
• If you're planning to take food through the security checkpoint, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
