With strict COVID-19 precautions to follow, travel looks a little different today. These are some handy things to know before you hop on that plane to Maui: Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before locking in your flight. Also check if there are any conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as installing a contact tracing app. You must wear a face mask at the airport, including at security checkpoints. Be prepared to lower your mask for identification purposes when asked. Instead of handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, position it straight on the reader yourself. Then, hold it up for inspection. TSA is now allowing passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on bags. This will need to be removed from your bag for X-ray screening. Put any personal items (phone, keys and wallet) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during screening. Separate any food you're carrying for X-ray scanning. Putting it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA employee to touch and inspect your belongings.
