COVID-19 has affected how the world works in all sorts of ways, including how and where we’re able to travel. These tips will help you better understand these new challenges and get you ready for your journey to Tibet:
- Before booking anything, find out if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get the latest updates by checking government travel advisories.
- When you pass through airport screening, keep your face mask on. You will be required to briefly lower it for ID purposes. Anyone refusing to wear a mask may be fined and denied entry.
- To reduce the potential of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA agent.
- You’re permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your hand luggage. This will need to be removed for screening.
- Place any personal items (keys, wallet and phone) in your carry-on instead of a bin to reduce handling during screening.
- If you’re bringing food on the plane with you, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.
