What are some of the general tips for travellers to South Coast during the COVID-19 outbreak?
If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 pandemic, you'll notice a raft of new standards and rules in place. Take note of these tips and make your journey to South Coast go off without a hitch:
  • Before committing to anything, check if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your origin and destination. Keep informed with the latest updates by checking official government websites.
  • When you go through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be required to lower it briefly for identification purposes. Travellers who refuse to wear a mask may face civil penalties and may also be denied boarding.
  • To decrease the risk of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA officer.
  • One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on luggage. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag for X-ray scanning.
  • Put any personal items (like your phone, wallet and keys) in your carry-on instead of a bin to reduce handling during the screening process.
  • If you want to take 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 touch your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.
