Also check if there are any special conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as proof of a negative COVID-19 test. > - Keep your face mask on during airport screening. A TSA employee will ask you to lower your mask temporarily for ID purposes. > - Avoid handing your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA employee. Rather, position your pass on the scanner and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it. > - One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on baggage. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag at the X-ray machine for screening. > - Empty your personal items from your pocket, like your small change and phone, and put them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process. > - Separate any food you have for X-ray screening. Food items often trigger the alarm. Putting them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to handle and inspect your belongings. ### Which airlines fly to Top of the South? ### How can I find cheap tickets to Top of the South? ### How much is a flight to Top of the South? ### What are the most popular airports to fly into in Top of the South? ### When is the cheapest time to fly to Top of the South? ### How much is a plane ticket to Top of the South? ### Which airlines with flights to Top of the South 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.
