Hutchison Packages (Flight + Hotel)

The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered significant changes to the way we travel. If you're planning an escape to Hutchison, the following tips will help you navigate the "new normal:"

• Before booking anything, check if any travel restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Get up-to-date information by reviewing government websites.
• When you pass through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be asked to lower it briefly for identification purposes. Those who refuse to wear a mask may be fined and denied entry.
• To reduce the possibility of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA employee.
• You can 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.
• Empty everything from your pockets, like your wallet, keys and phone, and place them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
• Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA officer will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.

From the departure area to your designated seat, airlines throughout the world have introduced measures such as social distancing to help stop the spread of COVID-19. Some of these carriers are:

• Rex Regional Express - this airline is known for conducting passenger temperature checks and cleaning with disinfectant.
• Qantas - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and cleaning with disinfectant.
