West Wight Vacation Packages

If it's your first time traveling during the COVID-19 pandemic, you'll notice a raft of new regulations and rules in place. Follow these tips and make your getaway to West Wight a smooth one:

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before locking in your flight. Also check if there are any conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as proof of a negative COVID-19 test.
• Wear a face mask during airport screening. A TSA officer will require you to lower your mask temporarily to verify your identity.
• Instead of handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, position it directly on the reader yourself. When that's done, 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 bag. You'll have to remove it for X-ray scanning.
• Put any personal items (keys, wallet and phone) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during the screening process.
• Separate any food you have for X-ray scanning. Food items often set off the alarm. Placing them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA employee to touch and inspect your belongings.
