If it's your first time traveling during the COVID-19 outbreak, you'll notice new restrictions and standards in place. Take note of these tips and make your getaway to India go off without a hitch: Before you book a flight, find out if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Get up-to-date information by reviewing government and airport websites. Keep your face mask on during airport screening. A TSA officer will ask you to adjust your mask to verify your identity. You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA officer. Rather, place your pass on the reader and then hold it up for the agent to visually inspect it. You are now permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on baggage. This will need to be taken out for X-ray screening. Place any personal items (keys, wallet and phone) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during screening. If you're bringing food on board, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for closer inspection.
