This year has been a roller-coaster of a year and not the best for the travel industry. You, like many others, are probably on the edge of your seat in anticipation for the easing of travel restrictions again. As people start travelling more, it is important to remember that many things have changed and will probably be this way for a while longer, so you need to be prepared.
Travel Tips:
- Pack several, easily accessible masks as they are required in airports and planes.
- Have hand sanitiser to hand, no bigger than 100ml in carry on. Larger bottles can be packed in your checked luggage.
- Empty water bottles can go through security and be filled pre-flight at contactless water fountains in many UK airports.
- Checking in online is mandatory for many airlines, so do not forget to do this before getting to the airport.
- Using self-service kiosks for printing bag tags can help avoid queues where available.
- Sanitise hands before and especially after security.
- Use the terminal toilets just before boarding to try and avoid plane toilets.
- Listen to airport announcements as boarding could be much different.
- Wipe down armrests, tray tables, TVs and seat belts on board.
- There may be reduced food and drink on offer, so be prepared.
- Air filtration on planes has been upgraded to remove 99.9% of dust, fungi, moisture, bacteria and viruses.
