  • When you go through airport checkpoints, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to lower it briefly to verify your identity. Anyone refusing to wear a mask may be fined and denied boarding.
  • To reduce the potential of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA agent.
  • One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on baggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to take it out of your bag for X-ray screening.
  • To minimize handling during the screening process, place items such as your loose change and phone into your carry-on instead of into the bins.
  • Separate any food you're carrying for X-ray screening. Placing it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to touch and inspect your belongings.
