Waisilip Holidays

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 outbreak, you'll notice a range of new restrictions and rules in place. Take note of these tips and make your getaway to Waisilip a smooth one:

• Before you lock in a flight, find out if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Get the latest updates by reviewing official government websites.
• When you go through airport checkpoints, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to lower it briefly to confirm your identity. Passengers who refuse to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the building.
• You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA officer. Rather, you should place the pass on the reader and then hold it up for inspection.
• TSA now permits passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on bags. This will need to be removed from your bag for screening.
• Place any personal items (e.g, keys, phone and coins) in your carry-on rather than a bin to reduce handling during the screening process.
• Separate any food you're carrying for X-ray screening. Placing it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to touch and inspect your belongings.
