Read through the following information before boarding your flight to Bay Area: Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before locking in a flight. Also check if there are any requirements you'll need to follow on arrival, such as health testing. Wear a face mask during airport screening. A TSA officer will ask you to lower your mask temporarily to verify your identity. 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 pass directly to a TSA officer. TSA is now permitting passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on baggage. This will need to be removed from your bag at the X-ray machine for scanning. To minimize handling during screening, place personal items such as your keys, wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on instead of into the bins. Separate any food you have for X-ray screening. Placing it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to touch and inspect your belongings.
