Shire of Inglewood Vacations

If it's your first time traveling during COVID-19, you'll notice plenty of new restrictions and standards in place. Take note of these tips and make your escape to Shire of Inglewood go off without a hitch:

• Before locking in your flight, find out if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get up-to-date information by reviewing government websites.
• Wear a face mask during airport screening. A TSA employee will ask you to lower your mask temporarily for identification purposes.
• Do not hand your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA employee. Instead, position your pass on the reader and then hold it up so the agent can inspect it.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on luggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to take it out of your bag for scanning.
• To reduce handling during screening, place personal items such as your phone, keys and wallet into your carry-on rather than the bins.
• If you're bringing food on the plane, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for closer inspection.
