In the era of the COVID-19 outbreak, traveling today comes with a few more challenges than usual. Make a note of these helpful tips before boarding your flight to United Kingdom: Investigate the restrictions and rules in both your origin and destination. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so check before you book your flight. Requirements state you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, even at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to lower your mask for identification purposes when asked. Rather than handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, position it straight on the reader yourself. When that's done, hold it up for inspection. One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on baggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to remove it from your bag for X-ray screening. To reduce handling during screening, place items such as your phone, keys and wallet into your carry-on instead of into the bins. If you want to take food through the security 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 carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
