Creator's Key Takeaways

we would encourage you to make sure you're checking the protocols right up to the day that you're actually going

if you don't check and you don't do it it's your fault it is absolutely your fault

make sure you have some breakfast whatever your thing is just don't go on an empty stomach

arriving early doesn't mean you get on early no and in a lot of cases people are still getting off

Pack masks in case of requirement changes
