Frequently asked questions

Can I cancel my flight booking to Top of the South due to COVID-19?
Our handy Customer Service Portal is your one-stop shop for most travel queries, including about flight changes and cancellations related to COVID-19. For extra peace of mind, we recommend looking over the terms and conditions of your airfare before booking.

What are some of the general tips for travellers to Top of the South during the COVID-19 outbreak?
If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 pandemic, you'll notice a host of new restrictions and rules in place. Take note of these tips and make your journey to Top of the South go off without a hitch:
  • Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before booking. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as proof of a negative COVID-19 test.
  • Keep your face mask on during airport screening. A TSA employee will ask you to lower your mask temporarily for ID purposes.
  • Avoid handing your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA employee. Rather, position your pass on the scanner and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
  • One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on baggage. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag at the X-ray machine for screening.
  • Empty your personal items from your pocket, like your small change and phone, and put them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
  • Separate any food you have for X-ray screening. Food items often trigger the alarm. Putting them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to handle and inspect your belongings.
