East Houston Trip

Due to the ongoing effects of COVID-19, travelling today comes with greater challenges. Have a read over these valuable tips before hopping on your flight to East Houston:

• Before you book a flight, check if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your destination and origin. Get up-to-date information by checking government and travel websites.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask at the airport, including at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to adjust your mask to verify your identity when asked by a TSA officer.
• Instead of handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, place it directly on the reader yourself. Once that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• 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 screening.
• Place any personal items (like your phone, wallet and keys) in your carry-on rather than a bin to reduce handling during the screening process.
• If you're planning to take food through the screening checkpoint, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for closer inspection.
