Shire of Esk Vacations from ￥160,798

If it's your first time traveling during COVID-19, you'll notice a host of new rules and restrictions in place. Follow these tips and make your getaway to Shire of Esk go off without a hitch:

• Understand what, if any, restrictions or rules apply to both your origin and destination. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so make sure you check before you lock something in.
• When you pass through airport screening, keep your face mask on. You will be required to briefly lower it to confirm your identity. Those who refuse to wear a mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the building.
• Avoid handing your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA employee. Instead, you should position the pass on the scanner and then hold it up so the agent can inspect it.
• You can now take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on luggage. This will need to be taken out for X-ray screening.
• Put any personal items (e.g, keys, phone and wallet) in your carry-on rather than a bin to reduce handling during the screening process.
• If you're bringing food through security screening, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
