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

• Before you lock in a flight, see if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get the latest updates by reviewing government travel advisories.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to lower your mask to verify your identity when asked by a TSA employee.
• Instead of handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, place it directly on the scanner yourself. After that, 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 baggage. This will need to be removed from your bag for X-ray scanning.
• To reduce handling during the screening process, place personal items such as your phone, wallet and keys into your carry-on rather than into the bins.
• Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA employee will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
