Ausseerland Holidays from NZ$2,232

COVID-19 has triggered substantial changes to the way we travel. If you're planning a holiday in Ausseerland, the following tips will help you navigate this new travelling reality:

• Before committing to anything, see if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get the latest updates by checking government websites.
• Wear a face mask during airport screening. A TSA officer will ask you to temporarily lower your mask for identification purposes.
• To reduce the possibility of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA agent.
• TSA now permits passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on baggage. This will need to be removed from your bag at the X-ray machine for screening.
• Place any personal items (e.g, wallet, keys and phone) in your carry-on instead of a bin to reduce handling during the screening process.
• Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA employee will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
