Snowy Mountains Vacations

If it's your first time traveling during COVID-19, you'll no doubt notice a few more standards and rules in place. Take note of these tips and make your journey to Snowy Mountains a smooth one:

• Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before committing to a flight. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as health testing.
• Wear a face mask even during airport screening. A TSA employee will require you to adjust your mask for identification purposes.
• Instead of handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, position it directly on the scanner yourself. When that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• You can now take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on luggage. You'll need to remove it for screening.
• Place any personal items (phone, keys and wallet) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during the screening process.
• If you're taking food through security screening, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for closer inspection.
