What are some of the general tips for travellers to Scottish Highlands during the COVID-19 outbreak?
The COVID-19 outbreak has brought about dramatic changes to how we travel. If you're planning a trip to Scottish Highlands, the following tips will help you navigate the "new normal:"
  • Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before booking your flight. Also check if there are any conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as installing a contact tracing app.
  • Wear a face mask even during airport screening. A TSA officer will require you to temporarily lower your mask for identification purposes.
  • To avoid cross-contamination, place 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 liquid hand sanitizer container is now allowed in your carry-on baggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to take it out of your bag for X-ray scanning.
  • To reduce handling during screening, put items such as your phone, wallet and keys into your carry-on rather than into the bins.
  • Separate any food you have for X-ray scanning. Food items often trigger the alarm. Putting them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA employee to touch and inspect your belongings.
