• Before booking anything, find out if any travel restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Keep informed with the latest updates by checking official government websites.
• Requirements state that you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, even at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to lower your mask for identification purposes when asked by a TSA employee.
• Avoid handing your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA officer. Instead, you should position the pass on the scanner and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
• One liquid hand sanitizer container is now allowed in your carry-on bag. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you’ll need to remove it from your bag for X-ray scanning.
• Put any personal items (like your phone and wallet) in your carry-on rather than a bin to reduce handling during the screening process.
• Transport your food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on means it’s less likely a TSA employee will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
