Frequently asked questions

Can I cancel my flight booking to Loch Ness due to COVID-19?
If you haven't booked yet, read the terms and conditions of the airline you're considering. If you've already reserved your flight to Loch Ness, click through to our Customer Service Portal.

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.
