  • Find out if any restrictions apply to both your destination and origin. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so check before you lock in your flight.
  • When you pass through airport checkpoints, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to lower it briefly to confirm your identity. Passengers who refuse to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be denied boarding.
  • To minimize 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 agent.
  • One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on bag. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to take it out of your bag for scanning.
  • Put any personal items (keys, wallet and phone) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during the screening process.
  • Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Keeping food separate from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA employee will need to open your bag for inspection.
