  • Research if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before committing to a flight. Also check if there are any requirements you'll have to follow on arrival, such as taking a COVID-19 test.
  • Wear a face mask during airport screening. A TSA employee will ask you to adjust your mask for identification purposes.
  • Do not hand your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA officer. Instead, position your pass on the scanner and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
  • One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on baggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to remove it from your bag for X-ray scanning.
  • To minimize handling during the screening process, place items such as your loose change and phone into your carry-on instead of the bins.
  • Separate any food you have for screening. Food items often set off the alarm. Placing them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to touch and inspect your belongings.
