Confirm airline protocols – All airlines have different changes made to their on-board rules and restrictions. Few are keeping middle seat empty to maintain the social distancing norm and mandatory Covid tests before leaving and landing. Do cross check with the airlines you are travelling with, for clarifications Check the timing to reach Airport for onsite tests and protocol- Few Airports have requested passengers to reach atleast 4 hours before the flight for few protocols to be carried out on the airport.

Do check the quarantine specifications of both the places where you are travelling and the place where you are going to return back. Carry on Sanitizer Liquid 100ml and Disinfectant Spray 100ml – Very few International and domestic flights have allowed each passenger to carry 12 ounces=350ml of sanitizer liquid. While majority airlines are still following the original rule with a 100ml of sanitizer and disinfectant sprays allowed on board.
