What are some of the general tips for travellers to East Coast during the COVID-19 outbreak?
In the era of the COVID-19 outbreak, travelling today comes with greater challenges. Have a read over the following information before hopping on your flight to East Coast:
  • Before booking anything, find out if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Get up-to-date information by checking government travel advisories.
  • You're required to wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, even at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to adjust your mask for ID verification when asked by a TSA employee.
  • Do not hand your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA employee. Instead, you should position the pass on the reader and then hold it up so the agent can inspect it.
  • You can take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your hand luggage. This will need to be taken out for screening.
  • Place any personal items (e.g, wallet, keys and phone) in your carry-on instead of a bin to reduce handling during screening.
  • 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 lessens the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.
