Frequently asked questions

Can I cancel my flight booking to Mount Dobson Ski Area due to COVID-19?
Many airlines now offer greater flexibility due to COVID-19. Our convenient Customer Service Portal will help you solve most questions about changes to your flight. It's also a good idea to check the terms and conditions of your chosen carrier — preferably before locking in your tickets!

What are some of the general tips for travellers to Mount Dobson Ski Area during the COVID-19 outbreak?
If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 outbreak, you'll no doubt notice a few more regulations and rules in place. Follow these tips and make your journey to Mount Dobson Ski Area go off without a hitch:
  • Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before booking your flight. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as testing and quarantining.
  • When you pass through airport checkpoints, do not remove your face mask. You will be required to briefly lower it for ID purposes. Anyone refusing to wear a face mask may be fined and denied boarding.
  • To reduce the risk of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee.
  • TSA is now allowing passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on luggage. This will need to be removed from your bag and presented for screening.
  • Put any personal items (phone, wallet and keys for example) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during the screening process.
  • If you're planning to take food on the plane with you, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
