Also check if there are any requirements you'll need to follow on arrival, such as testing and quarantining. > - Keep your face mask on during airport screening. A TSA employee will require you to adjust your mask for identification purposes. > - Rather than handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, place it straight on the reader yourself. Once that's done, hold it up for inspection. > - One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on baggage. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to take it out of your bag for X-ray screening. > - Empty your personal items from your pockets, such as your keys, phone and wallet, and place them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process. > - Transport your food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA employee will need to touch and open your bag for inspection. ### Which airlines fly to East India? ### How can I find cheap tickets to East India? ### How much is a flight to East India? ### What are the most popular airports to fly into in East India? ### When is the cheapest time to fly to East India? ### How much is a plane ticket to East India? ### Which airlines with flights to East India employ COVID-19 cleanliness policies? > - IndiGo - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and cleaning with disinfectant. > - Air India - this airline is known for cleaning with disinfectant and providing passenger masks. > - GoAir - this airline is known for cleaning with disinfectant and providing passenger masks. ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia \* Savings based on package bookings compared to the price of the same components booked separately.
