What are some of the general tips for travellers to Gulf Coast during the COVID-19 outbreak?
With new safety guidelines to adhere to, travel looks a bit different nowadays. Here's what you should know before you fly off to Gulf Coast:
  • Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before locking in your flight. Also check if there are any requirements you'll have to follow on arrival, such as undergoing health assessments.
  • You're required to wear a face mask at the airport, even at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to adjust your mask for identification purposes when asked by a TSA officer.
  • Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee. Rather, you should place the pass on the scanner and then hold it up for inspection.
  • One liquid hand sanitizer container is now permitted in your carry-on baggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to remove it from your bag at the X-ray machine for screening.
  • Empty everything from your pockets, such as your phone, keys and wallet, and put them in your carry-on instead of into bins. This will reduce handling during screening.
  • If you want to take food through security screening, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
