What are some of the general tips for travellers to South Wales during the COVID-19 outbreak?
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in dramatic changes to the way we travel. If you plan to jet off to South Wales, the following tips will help you navigate this new travelling reality:
  • Find out if any restrictions apply to both your destination and origin. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so check before you book.
  • When you go through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be required to lower it briefly to confirm your identity. Travellers who refuse to wear a mask may be denied entry or boarding.
  • To avoid cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA officer.
  • One liquid hand sanitizer container 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 for X-ray scanning.
  • Remove items from your pockets, such as your keys, phone and wallet, and put them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
  • Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping food separate from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA agent will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
