Accepted Answer

In the era of the COVID-19 pandemic, travelling now comes with a few additional challenges. Have a read over these helpful tips before jumping on your plane to Cairns and Barrier Reef:

Before locking in your flight, check if any travel restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get the latest updates by checking government and travel websites.
Requirements state you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, even at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to lower your mask for ID purposes when asked.
Instead of handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, position it directly on the reader yourself. After that, hold it up for inspection.
You're allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on baggage. This will need to be taken out for X-ray scanning.
To minimize handling during screening, put items such as your phone and loose change into your carry-on rather than into the bins.
If you're taking food on board, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
