Get up-to-date information by checking government travel advisories. > - You're required to wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, even at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to adjust your mask for ID verification when asked by a TSA employee. > - 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 so the agent can inspect it. > - You can take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your hand luggage. This will need to be taken out for screening. > - Place any personal items (e.g, wallet, keys and phone) in your carry-on instead of a bin to reduce handling during screening. > - If you're planning to take 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 touch your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection. ### Which airlines fly to East Coast? ### How can I find cheap tickets to East Coast? ### How much is a flight to East Coast? ### What are the most popular airports to fly into in East Coast? ### When is the cheapest time to fly to East Coast? ### How much is a plane ticket to East Coast? ### Which airlines with flights to East Coast employ COVID-19 cleanliness policies? > - Air New Zealand - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and cleaning with disinfectant. > - Jetstar - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and cleaning with disinfectant. > - Qantas - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and cleaning with disinfectant. ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia \* Savings based on package bookings compared to the price of the same components booked separately.
