Southern Suburbs Trip

The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed the world in many ways, including how and where we're able to travel. The following tips will help you navigate these new challenges and prepare you for your escape to Southern Suburbs:

• Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before booking anything. Also check if there are any requirements you'll have to follow on arrival, such as installing a contact tracing app.
• Wear a face mask even during airport screening. A TSA employee will require you to adjust your mask to verify your identity.
• To reduce the likelihood of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee.
• One liquid hand sanitizer container is now allowed in your carry-on baggage. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag for screening.
• To reduce handling during the screening process, put items such as your keys, wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on rather than the bins.
• 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 employee to handle and inspect your belongings.

To help limit contact between passengers and cabin crew during the current pandemic, airlines have taken social distancing and other precautionary measures to the skies. Just a few of these are:
