Frequently asked questions

Can I cancel my flight booking to Mersea Island due to COVID-19?
Many airlines now offer greater flexibility due to COVID-19. Our convenient Customer Service Portal will help solve most questions about which policies apply to your flight. It's also good to check the terms and conditions of your fare — preferably before booking!

What are some of the general tips for travellers to Mersea Island during the COVID-19 outbreak?
The COVID-19 outbreak has brought about big changes to the way we travel. If you're planning a holiday in Mersea Island, the following tips will help you navigate these new challenges and rules:
  • Before locking in your flight, find out if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get the latest updates by checking official government websites.
  • When you go through airport screening, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to briefly lower it for ID purposes. Travellers who refuse to wear a mask may be fined and denied entry.
  • Do not hand your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA officer. Rather, position the pass on the scanner and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
  • TSA is now permitting 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 and presented for screening.
  • To reduce handling during the screening process, place personal items such as your keys, wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on rather than the bins.
  • If you're bringing food through security screening, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
