Taking a flight during the COVID-19 pandemic? These are all the steps to keep in mind Before you reach the airport Your journey starts the minute you step outside your home, which is why you need to be cautious much before you get to the airport. Ensure your mask is well-fitting and that you have your gloves on. In your carry on luggage, bring multiple sets of gloves and masks as you may be asked to change them before you board and deplane. Your carry-on luggage should also have a bottle of sanitiser, sanitising wipes and paper soap so you can wash your hands wherever possible and sanitise at regular intervals. Another valuable addition to your carry on will be a toilet seat sanitiser in spray form. When it comes to travelling to the airport, it is advisable to use your personal vehicle or ask a friend to drive you instead of a cab—you can't be sure that the passengers before you have been maintaining strict personal hygiene levels and if they've been vigilant enough to wipe the handles and seat after getting off. That being said, if you absolutely must rely on an Uber, ensure you wipe down the handles and the seat before you get in and after you get off; your responsibility doesn't end with keeping yourself safe, extend it to the driver and the next passengers. Another point to keep in mind is that you've already used the web check-in feature and are carrying a printed or an e-boarding pass. This will minimise touch-points and human contact at the terminal and keep your experience relatively hassle-free. You may want to cover your check-in luggage in plastic casing. Various travellers have reported the airport staff using liquid sanitiser on luggage to disinfect them, which could leave the contents of your bags to get soaked.
