Oak Island Holidays from NZ$3,947

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 outbreak, you'll notice new rules and standards in place. Take note of these tips and make your getaway to Oak Island a smooth one:

• Before committing to anything, check if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your destination and origin. Get the latest updates by checking government and airport websites.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask at the airport, including at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to lower your mask to verify your identity when asked by a TSA employee.
• To reduce the possibility 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 officer.
• You're allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on luggage. This will need to be removed for X-ray scanning.
• Place any personal items (keys, wallet and phone) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during screening.
• If you're bringing food through the security checkpoint, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
