What are some of the general tips for travellers to Southwest Ireland during the COVID-19 outbreak?
Due to the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, travelling now comes with a few extra challenges. Read through these handy tips before boarding your plane to Southwest Ireland:
  • Look into if any restrictions apply to both your destination and origin. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so be sure to check before you lock something in.
  • When you go through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be asked to briefly lower it to verify your identity. Those who refuse to wear a mask may be denied entry or boarding.
  • To decrease the risk of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer.
  • TSA is now permitting passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on luggage. This will have to be removed from your bag and submitted for screening.
  • To minimize handling during screening, place personal items such as your keys, wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on rather than the bins.
  • Separate any food you have for X-ray scanning. Putting it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to touch and inspect your belongings.
