Bunya Vacations

With new restrictions and safety precautions to adhere to, travel looks a lot different these days. Here are some useful things to know before you get on that plane to Bunya:

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before locking in a flight. Also check if there are any requirements you'll have to follow on arrival, such as health testing.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask at the airport, even at screening checkpoints. Be ready to lower your mask for ID purposes when asked.
• Avoid handing your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA officer. Rather, you should place the pass on the scanner and then hold it up for the agent to visually inspect it.
• One liquid hand sanitizer container is now permitted in your carry-on luggage. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to take it out of your bag for scanning.
• To reduce handling during the screening process, place personal items such as your phone, coins and keys into your carry-on instead of the bins.
• If you're taking food on the plane with you, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.
