What are some of the general tips for travellers to East India during the COVID-19 outbreak?
With strict COVID-19 precautions in place, travel looks a bit different nowadays. Here's what you need to know before you get on that plane to East India:
  • Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before booking your flight. Also check if there are any requirements you'll need to follow on arrival, such as testing and quarantining.
  • Keep your face mask on during airport screening. A TSA employee will require you to adjust your mask for identification purposes.
  • Rather than handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, place it straight on the reader yourself. Once that's done, hold it up for inspection.
  • One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on baggage. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to take it out of your bag for X-ray screening.
  • Empty your personal items from your pockets, such as your keys, phone and wallet, and place them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
  • Transport your food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA employee will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
