Frequently asked questions

Can I cancel my flight booking to Lakes and Wilderness due to COVID-19?

What are some of the general tips for travellers to Lakes and Wilderness during the COVID-19 outbreak?
COVID-19 may have changed how we travel, but it hasn't stopped our passion for exploring. Here are a few tips on how to navigate travel's new challenges:
  • Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before booking your flight. Also check if there are any requirements you'll need to follow on arrival, such as health testing.
  • When you go through airport checkpoints, do not remove your face mask. You will be asked to briefly lower it for identification purposes. Travellers who refuse to wear a mask may face civil penalties and may also be denied boarding.
  • To reduce the likelihood of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA agent.
  • You're permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your hand luggage. This will need to be taken out for X-ray screening.
  • To reduce handling during the screening process, put items such as your phone, keys and wallet into your carry-on rather than the bins.
  • Separate any food you have for X-ray screening. Putting it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to handle and inspect your belongings.
