Also check if there are any special conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as proof of a negative COVID-19 test. > - You must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to lower your mask for ID verification when asked by a TSA officer. > - Instead of handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, place it straight on the reader yourself. After that, hold it up for inspection. > - TSA now allows passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on luggage. This will need to be removed from your bag for X-ray screening. > - To reduce handling during the screening process, put items such as your loose change and phone into your carry-on instead of 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 makes it less likely that a TSA agent will need to touch and open your bag for inspection. ### Which airlines fly to Central? ### How can I find cheap tickets to Central? ### How much is a flight to Central? ### What are the most popular airports to fly into in Central? ### When is the cheapest time to fly to Central? ### How much is a plane ticket to Central? ### Which airlines with flights to Central employ COVID-19 cleanliness policies? > - Qantas - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and cleaning with disinfectant. > - Virgin Australia - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and cleaning with disinfectant. ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia - Accommodation - Flights - Packages - [5 Star Hotels in Hale ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Hale-Hotels.s50-0-d553248633988455163.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) - [Luxury Hotels in Anatye ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anatye-Hotels-Luxury-Hotel.0-0-d553248634374224054-tLuxuryHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) - [Anatye Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anatye-Hotels.d553248634374224054.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Finke Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Finke-Hotels.d3000384087.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Hale Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hale-Hotels.d553248633988455163.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Simpson Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Simpson-Hotels.d553248634374224870.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Flights from Hale ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/553248633988455163/flights-from-hale) - [Flights from Anatye ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/553248634374224054/flights-from-anatye) - [Visit Hale ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hale.dx553248633988455163) - [Ruby Gap Nature Park ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ruby-Gap-Nature-Park-Hale.d553248634335930728.Attraction) \* Savings based on package bookings compared to the price of the same components booked separately.
