If it’s your first time traveling during the COVID-19 outbreak, you’ll notice a host of new rules and restrictions in place. Take note of these tips and make your escape to Hualien County go off without a hitch:
- 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 need to follow on arrival, such as proof of a negative COVID-19 test.
- Requirements state that you must wear a face mask at the airport, including at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to adjust your mask for ID verification when asked.
- To reduce the risk of cross-contamination, position 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 can take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on luggage. This will need to be taken out for X-ray screening.
- Place any personal items (like your phone and wallet) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during screening.
- Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping food separate from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA employee will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
