Holiday Safety

Before you travel

We recommend that you have travel insurance to give you peace of mind and to protect you against things going wrong, such as medical emergencies, cancellation or curtailment for reasons beyond your control. Please see our Holiday Insurance Page for further information.

At the airport

Every airport is different, so we suggest reading the advice from the UK airport you’re departing from. Here are some general tips to keep in mind before travelling.

  • Please download boarding passes prior to travel if possible. 
  • The checking of personal documentation might mean that check in, security checks and boarding the aircraft may take a considerable amount of time, so make sure you arrive at the airport with plenty of time to spare.
  • Make use of the hand sanitisers located around the airport and wash your hands regularly. 
  • Some outlets may ask for card payments only.

 

Safety on holiday

The safety of our customers on holiday is our prime consideration. We request that all hotels comply with local regulations applicable in their country, but it’s important to be aware that they sometimes do not match the standards we have in the UK for health and safety. We’re committed to working with our partners to identity areas where safety can be improved.
