Question 3

What are some of the general tips for travellers to Istanbul during the COVID-19 outbreak?

Accepted Answer

With the ongoing impacts of COVID-19 travelling now comes with more challenges than usual. Have a read over these valuable tips before boarding your flight to Istanbul:

Understand what rules and restrictions apply to both your origin and destination. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so don't forget to check before you book.
Keep your face mask on during airport screening. A TSA officer will ask you to adjust your mask to verify your identity.
You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer. Instead, place your pass on the reader and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
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 screening.
To minimize handling during screening, place personal items such as your phone and loose change into your carry-on instead of into the bins.
If you're taking food on the plane with you, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
