Fort William and Lochaber Holidays

The COVID-19 outbreak has transformed the world in a profound way, including how and where we travel. The following tips will help you understand these new challenges and get you ready for your trip to Fort William and Lochaber:

• Before booking anything, find out if any travel restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Keep informed with the latest updates by checking government and travel websites.
• When you pass through airport checkpoints, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to briefly lower it for identification purposes. Passengers who refuse to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the terminal.
• You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA officer. Rather, you should position the pass on the scanner and then hold it up for inspection.
• TSA now allows passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on bags. This will need to be removed from your bag for screening.
• To minimize handling during screening, place personal items such as your phone, keys and wallet into your carry-on instead of into the bins.
• If you want to take food through security screening, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
