COVID-19 has affected how the world works in endless ways, including how we're able to safely travel. These tips will help you understand these new challenges and get you ready for your journey to West Ireland:
  • Research if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before booking anything. Also check if there are any requirements you'll need to follow on arrival, such as proof of a negative COVID-19 test.
  • Requirements state you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, even at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to adjust your mask for identification purposes when asked by a TSA employee.
  • You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee. Instead, place your 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 carry-on luggage. You'll have to remove it for screening.
  • To minimize handling during screening, put items such as your wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on instead of the bins.
  • If you're planning to take food through the security checkpoint, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
