What are some of the general tips for travelers to Eastland during the COVID-19 outbreak?
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about huge changes to the way we travel. If you're flying to Eastland, the following tips will help you navigate this new traveling reality:
  • Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before booking your flight. Also check if there are any conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as proof of a negative COVID-19 test.
  • You must wear a face mask at the airport, including at security checkpoints. Be prepared to adjust your mask for identification purposes when asked by a TSA officer.
  • Instead of handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, position it directly on the scanner yourself. Then, hold it up for inspection.
  • TSA is now allowing passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on luggage. This will have to be removed from your bag for X-ray scanning.
  • Remove personal items from your pocket, like your wallet, coins and keys, and put them in your carry-on instead of into bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
  • If you're taking food through the security checkpoint, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.
