Usuk Holidays from NZ$1,853

With the ongoing impacts of COVID-19  travelling today comes with a few more challenges than usual. Make a note of these useful tips before hopping on your flight to Usuk:

• Before locking in your flight, find out if any travel restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Get the latest updates by reviewing government websites.
• Wear a face mask even during airport screening. A TSA officer will require you to lower your mask temporarily for identification purposes.
• Rather than handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, position it directly on the scanner yourself. Once that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• 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 for X-ray scanning.
• Empty your personal items from your pocket, like your small change and phone, and put them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
• Separate any food you have for X-ray scanning. Food items often trigger the alarm. Putting them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to handle and inspect your belongings.
