Get the latest updates by checking government travel advisories. > - When you pass through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be required to lower it briefly for identification purposes. Passengers who refuse to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the building. > - To avoid cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer. > - You are now allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. This will need to be taken out for X-ray scanning. > - To minimize handling during the screening process, place items such as your phone, keys and wallet into your carry-on rather than the bins. > - Separate any food you're carrying for X-ray scanning. Food items often trigger the alarm. Putting them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to handle and inspect your belongings. ### Which airlines fly to Penang Island? ### How can I find cheap tickets to Penang Island? ### How much is a flight to Penang Island? ### What are the most popular airports to fly into in Penang Island? ### When is the cheapest time to fly to Penang Island? ### How much is a plane ticket to Penang Island? ### Which airlines with flights to Penang Island employ COVID-19 cleanliness policies? > - AirAsia - this airline is known for conducting passenger temperature checks and cleaning with disinfectant. > - Malaysia Airlines - this airline is known for conducting passenger temperature checks and cleaning with disinfectant. > - Jetstar Asia Airways - this airline is known for conducting passenger temperature checks and cleaning with disinfectant. ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia \* Savings based on package bookings compared to the price of the same components booked separately.
