Accepted Answer

The COVID-19 outbreak has brought about big changes to the way we travel. If you're planning a trip to Northern Chile, these tips will help you navigate these new challenges and rules:

Before locking in your flight, find out if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your destination and origin. Stay informed with the latest updates by reviewing government and airport websites.
When you go through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be asked to lower it briefly to confirm your identity. Passengers who refuse to wear a face mask may be denied entry or boarding.
Avoid handing your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA employee. Instead, position the pass on the scanner and then hold it up for inspection.
You can take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. This will need to be taken out for X-ray scanning.
Put any personal items (like your phone, wallet and keys) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during the screening process.
Separate any food you have for 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.
