  • Before locking in your flight, check if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your origin and destination. Stay informed with the latest updates by checking government travel advisories.
  • When you pass through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be asked to briefly lower it for ID purposes. Those who refuse to wear a face mask may be fined and denied boarding.
  • You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer. Rather, you should place the pass on the reader 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 luggage. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to take it out of your bag at the X-ray machine for screening.
  • To reduce handling during the screening process, put items such as your loose change and phone 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 officer to touch and inspect your belongings.
