Shire of Mirani Trip

With the continued impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak, travelling now comes with more challenges than in the past. Have a read over these worthwhile tips before hopping on your plane to Shire of Mirani:

• Before you book a flight, see if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your origin and destination. Get up-to-date information by reviewing official government websites.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at security checkpoints. Be prepared to adjust your mask for identification purposes when asked by a TSA employee.
• Instead of handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, position it directly on the reader yourself. Then, hold it up for inspection.
• You can take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on luggage. This will need to be removed for X-ray screening.
• Empty your personal items from your pockets, like your phone and wallet, and put them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
• Separate any food you have for X-ray scanning. Food items often set off the alarm. Placing them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to touch and inspect your belongings.

Physical distancing is just the start of new travel measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19. From the moment you collect your tickets, these carriers will take you to your destination with comfort and confidence:
