Frequently asked questions

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

What are some of the general tips for travellers to Loch Ness during the COVID-19 outbreak?
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed how we travel, but it hasn't dampened our zest for exploring. Here are some tips on how to handle the new challenges of travelling:
  • Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before committing to a flight. Also check if there are any requirements you'll have to follow on arrival, such as health testing.
  • Requirements state that you must wear a face mask at the airport, including at screening checkpoints. Be ready to lower your mask for identification purposes when asked.
  • To reduce the possibility of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA agent.
  • One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on bag. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to take it out of your bag at the X-ray machine for scanning.
  • Empty everything from your pocket, such as your wallet, coins and keys, and place them in your carry-on instead of into bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
  • If you want to take food through security screening, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for closer inspection.
