Frequently asked questions

Can I cancel my flight booking to Wairarapa due to COVID-19?

What are some of the general tips for travellers to Wairarapa during the COVID-19 outbreak?
If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 outbreak, you'll notice a range of new restrictions and rules in place. Take note of these tips and make your journey to Wairarapa go off without a hitch:
  • Before booking your flight, find out if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your origin and destination. Get up-to-date information by reviewing government travel advisories.
  • Keep your face mask on during airport screening. A TSA employee will require you to lower your mask temporarily for identification purposes.
  • Instead of handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, place it straight on the reader yourself. Then, hold it up for inspection.
  • One liquid hand sanitizer container is now allowed in your carry-on bag. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag at the X-ray machine for scanning.
  • Remove personal items from your pockets, like your wallet, phone and small change, and put them in your carry-on instead of into bins. This will reduce handling during screening.
  • Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping food separate from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA employee will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
