Knoydart Holidays

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected how the world works in all kinds of ways, including how and where we're able to travel. These tips will help you navigate the new challenges and get you ready for your holiday in Knoydart:

• Investigate if any restrictions apply to both your destination and origin. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so don't forget to check government advisories before booking.
• Requirements state that you must wear a face mask at the airport, even at screening checkpoints. Be ready to lower your mask to verify your identity when asked.
• To minimize the risk 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 agent.
• TSA is now allowing passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on luggage. This will have to be removed from your bag to be screened.
• Remove items from your pockets, like your keys, phone and wallet, and put them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
• If you want to take food through security screening, place 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 food container or carry-on bag for closer inspection.
