  • Requirements state that you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at security checkpoints. You should be prepared to lower your mask for ID purposes when asked by a TSA officer.

  • You're permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. You'll have to remove it for screening.
  • To minimize handling during screening, place items such as your phone, keys and wallet into your carry-on instead of into the bins.
  • Transport your food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA agent will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
