Somerford Keynes Holidays

Due to the ongoing effects of COVID-19  travelling now comes with some extra challenges. Make a note of these useful tips before hopping on your plane to Somerford Keynes:

• Investigate what, if any, restrictions or rules apply to both your origin and destination. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so be sure to check before you book.
• When you go through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be asked to lower it briefly for identification purposes. Passengers who refuse to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be denied boarding.
• Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee. Rather, position the pass on the scanner and then hold it up so the agent can inspect it.
• TSA now permits passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on bags. This will have to be removed from your bag at the X-ray machine for scanning.
• Remove personal items from your pockets, such as your wallet, phone and small change, and put them in your carry-on instead of into bins. This will reduce handling during screening.
• Separate any food you have for screening. Food items often trigger the alarm. Putting them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to handle and inspect your belongings.
