Shire of Calliope Vacations

In the era of the COVID-19 outbreak, traveling now comes with more challenges than in the past. Keep in mind these handy tips before boarding your flight to Shire of Calliope:

• Understand what rules and restrictions apply to both your origin and destination. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so be sure to check in advance.
• Requirements state that you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at security checkpoints. Be ready to lower your mask for ID purposes when asked by a TSA officer.
• To reduce the risk of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer.
• You're permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on luggage. You'll have to remove it for screening.
• Remove personal items from your pocket, such as your keys, phone and wallet, and put them in your carry-on instead of into bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
• If you're bringing food on the plane with you, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.
