You and/or your travel group should be aware that COVID-19 and the health and security measures around COVID-19 may impact elements of your trip and influence the operation of some travel services. The country you and your group reside in, the country or countries you are travelling to or via, and the airline(s) you are travelling on may all have strict requirements on travel to limit the spread of COVID-19.

 

These requirements may include but are not limited to:

 

  • Wearing of masks at airports, while in flight and when out in public.

  • Active testing for COVID-19 that may include blood testing before permission is granted to board any flight or enter a country.

  • Being able to show proof of health via formalized means (Certificate or similar)

COVID-19 is causing constant and ongoing changes in the application of the above types of measures and the way an airline, airport or country chooses to deal with the threat of COVID is constantly changing.

 

It is the individuals responsibility to keep themselves informed of all requirements in relation to their

trip and any COVID-19 based restrictions, and we suggest these are constantly monitored right up until departure, as they can change at any time. The same applies to any travel companions and all members of a group who may be travelling.
