Isle of Whithorn Holidays

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to dramatic changes to the way we travel. If you plan to visit Isle of Whithorn, the following tips will help you navigate these new challenges and rules:

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before committing to a flight. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as taking a COVID-19 test.
• When you go through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be required to lower it briefly to verify your identity. Those who refuse to wear a face mask may be denied entry or boarding.
• Avoid handing your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee. Rather, you should position the pass on the reader and then hold it up for inspection.
• You're allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on luggage. This will need to be removed for X-ray scanning.
• Place any personal items (phone, wallet and keys) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during the screening process.
• Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA agent will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
