If it's your first time traveling during COVID-19, you'll notice a raft of new rules and regulations in place.

Also check if there are any special conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as proof of a negative COVID-19 test. When you go through airport checkpoints, keep your face mask on. You will be required to lower it briefly for ID purposes. Anyone refusing to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be denied boarding. To minimize the risk of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee. One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on bag. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to take it out of your bag for screening. To reduce handling during screening, put items such as your phone, wallet and keys into your carry-on instead of the bins. If you want to take food on board, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
