Isle of Muck Holidays

The COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in dramatic changes to the way we travel. If you're planning an escape to Isle of Muck, these tips will help you navigate this new travelling reality:

• Before booking anything, check if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your origin and destination. Get the latest updates by reviewing government and airport websites.
• When you pass through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be asked to lower it briefly for identification purposes. Those who refuse to wear a face mask may be fined and denied entry.
• To reduce the possibility of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee.
• You are now allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. You'll need to remove it for X-ray screening.
• Place any personal items (e.g, keys, phone and wallet) in your carry-on instead of a bin to reduce handling during the screening process.
• If you're taking food on the plane, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.
