  • Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before committing to a flight. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as undergoing health assessments.
  • When you pass through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be asked to lower it briefly to verify your identity. Those who refuse to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the building.
  • Do not hand your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA employee. Instead, you should place the pass on the reader and then hold it up for inspection.
  • One liquid hand sanitizer container is now allowed in your carry-on bag. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to take it out of your bag for screening.
  • Empty everything from your pockets, such as your wallet, keys and phone, and put them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will reduce handling during screening.
  • If you want to take food on the plane, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for closer inspection.
