What are some of the general tips for travelers to Cairns and Barrier Reef during the COVID-19 outbreak?
In the era of the COVID-19 pandemic, traveling now comes with a few additional challenges. Have a read over these helpful tips before jumping on your plane to Cairns and Barrier Reef:
  • Before locking in your flight, check if any travel restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get the latest updates by checking government and travel websites.
  • Requirements state you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, even at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to lower your mask for ID purposes when asked.
  • Instead of handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, position it directly on the reader yourself. After that, hold it up for inspection.
  • You're allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on baggage. This will need to be taken out for X-ray scanning.
  • To minimize handling during screening, put items such as your phone and loose change into your carry-on rather than into the bins.
  • If you're taking food on board, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
