  • Before locking in your flight, check if any travel restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Get the latest updates by checking government and travel websites.
  • When you go through airport screening, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to briefly lower it to confirm your identity. Travellers who refuse to wear a face mask may be fined and denied entry.
  • You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA employee. Instead, you should position the pass on the scanner and then hold it up for the agent to visually inspect it.
  • You can take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your hand luggage. This will need to be removed for X-ray screening.
  • To reduce handling during screening, place items such as your loose change and phone into your carry-on rather than into the bins.
  • Separate any food you're carrying for screening. Food items often set off the alarm. Placing them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA employee to handle and inspect your belongings.
