The COVID-19 outbreak has changed how the world works in countless ways, including how we're able to safely travel. These tips will help you navigate these new challenges and get you ready for your holiday in Mount Ruapehu Ski Area:
  • Research if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before committing to a flight. Also check if there are any requirements you'll have to follow on arrival, such as taking a COVID-19 test.
  • Wear a face mask during airport screening. A TSA employee will ask you to adjust your mask for identification purposes.
  • Do not hand your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA officer. Instead, position your pass on the scanner and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
  • One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on baggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to remove it from your bag for X-ray scanning.
  • To minimize handling during the screening process, place items such as your loose change and phone into your carry-on instead of the bins.
  • Separate any food you have for screening. 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.
