  • Find out if any restrictions apply to both your destination and origin. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so check before you book.
  • When you go through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be required to lower it briefly to confirm your identity. Travellers who refuse to wear a mask may be denied entry or boarding.
  • To avoid cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA officer.
  • One liquid hand sanitizer container is now allowed in your carry-on bag. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to take it out of your bag for X-ray scanning.
  • Remove items from your pockets, such as your keys, phone and wallet, and put them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
  • 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 agent will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
