Recommendations for travelling during the Covid Pandemic:

• Check in online 24 hours before flight departure to allow for minimal contact on arrival at airport
• Go to website https://www.iata.org/en/programs/safe... and download the passenger locator form. Complete and carry with you with your other important documents, ie passport, yacht papers and discharge book. Most Countries now require a passenger locator form completed upon arrival, downloading and completing this prior to arrival at the departing airport will save time.
• Most airlines are limiting carry on luggage, check your respective airlines website and pack accordingly
