Mount Hutt Holidays from NZ$288

COVID-19 has affected how the world works in ways big and small, including how we're able to safely travel. These tips will help you navigate the new challenges and get you ready for your holiday in Mount Hutt:

• Investigate the rules and restrictions in both your destination and origin. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so make sure you check government advisories before booking.
• Wear a face mask during airport screening. A TSA employee will require you to temporarily lower your mask for ID purposes.
• You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer. Rather, you should place the pass on the scanner and then hold it up for inspection.
• You can now take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. This will need to be taken out for X-ray scanning.
• Remove items from your pocket, like your wallet, coins and keys, and put them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
• Transport your 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 officer will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
