The COVID-19 outbreak may have changed how we travel, but it hasn't halted our eagerness for exploring. Here are a few tips on how to handle travel's new challenges:

• Know the restrictions and rules in both your destination and origin. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so don't forget to check government advisories before booking.
• Keep your face mask on during airport screening. A TSA employee will require you to adjust your mask for identification purposes.
• To minimize the risk of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA agent.
• You're allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on luggage. This will need to be removed for X-ray screening.
• Place any personal items (like your phone and wallet) in your carry-on rather than a bin to reduce handling during screening.
• If you want to take food through the security checkpoint, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.

To reduce contact between passengers and flight crew during the COVID-19 pandemic, most reputable airlines have taken physical distancing and other measures to the skies. A good example of these are:

• Brussels Airlines - this airline is known for conducting passenger temperature checks and cleaning with disinfectant.
• Ryanair - this airline is known for cleaning with disinfectant and providing passenger masks.
• Vueling - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and cleaning with disinfectant.
