Duck Key Holidays from AU$446

The COVID-19 outbreak has ushered in huge changes to how we travel. If you plan to jet off to Duck Key, the following tips will help you navigate these new challenges:

• Know what, if any, rules or restrictions apply to both your origin and destination. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so make sure you check before you book your flight.
• When you go through airport checkpoints, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to briefly lower it to verify your identity. Travellers who refuse to wear a face mask may be denied entry or boarding.
• Rather than handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, position it directly on the scanner yourself. Then, hold it up for inspection.
• TSA is now permitting passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on luggage. This will have to be removed from your bag for scanning.
• To reduce handling during screening, place items such as your phone, keys and wallet into your carry-on instead of the bins.
• Separate any food you have for X-ray screening. Food items often trigger the alarm. Putting them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to touch and inspect your belongings.
