  • When you pass through airport checkpoints, keep your face mask on. You will be required to briefly lower it for ID purposes. Those who refuse to wear a mask may be denied entry or boarding.
  • To decrease the risk of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the reader 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 hand luggage. This will need to be removed for X-ray screening.
  • To reduce handling during screening, place items such as your keys, wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on rather than into the bins.
