  • When you go through airport screening, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to lower it briefly to verify your identity. Passengers who refuse to wear a mask may be fined and denied boarding.
  • Do not hand your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA employee. Instead, you should position the pass on the reader and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
  • One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on baggage. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to remove it from your bag for scanning.
  • Place any personal items (e.g, keys, phone and coins) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during the screening process.
