  • You can now take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on baggage. You'll need to remove it for X-ray screening.
  • Remove personal items from your pocket, like your phone and wallet, and place them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
