Shire of Fitzroy Vacations

COVID-19 has affected how the world works in all kinds of ways, including how and where we travel. These tips will help you navigate these new challenges and prepare you for your journey to Shire of Fitzroy:

• Before locking in your flight, check if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get the latest updates by reviewing government and airport websites.
• When you pass through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be asked to briefly lower it to confirm your identity. Anyone refusing to wear a face mask may be fined and denied boarding.
• Instead of handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, place it straight on the scanner yourself. When that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• TSA now allows passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on baggage. This will have to be removed from your bag at the X-ray machine for screening.
• Empty everything from your pocket, such as your phone, keys and wallet, and place them in your carry-on instead of into bins. This will reduce handling during screening.
• Transport your food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA agent will need to open your bag for inspection.
