Shire of Blackall Vacations

COVID-19 has brought about big changes to the way we travel. If you're flying to Shire of Blackall, the following tips will help you navigate these new traveling challenges:

• Before committing to anything, check if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Get the latest updates by reviewing government and travel websites.
• When you go through airport screening, keep your face mask on. You will be required to briefly lower it to confirm your identity. Passengers who refuse to wear a mask may be fined and denied entry.
• To minimize the risk of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee.
• You can now take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your hand luggage. This will need to be taken out for X-ray screening.
• Empty everything from your pockets, such as your keys, phone and wallet, and place them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will reduce handling during screening.
• Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA agent will need to open your bag for inspection.
