Namakwaland Vacations from ￥334,326

If it's your first time traveling during the COVID-19 outbreak, you'll notice a host of new standards and rules in place. Follow these tips and make your escape to Namakwaland a smooth one:

• Before committing to anything, see if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your origin and destination. Stay informed with the latest updates by reviewing government and airport websites.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask at the airport, including at screening checkpoints. Be ready to adjust your mask for ID verification when asked by a TSA employee.
• To decrease the risk of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee.
• You're allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. You'll have to remove it for X-ray scanning.
• Put any personal items (keys, wallet and phone) in your carry-on rather than a bin to reduce handling during the screening process.
• If you're taking food on board, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
