The COVID-19 pandemic may have changed the way we travel, but it hasn't halted our eagerness for exploring. Here are a few tips on how to deal with the new challenges of travelling:

• Before booking your flight, find out if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your origin and destination. Keep informed with the latest updates by reviewing government websites.
• Requirements state that you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, even at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to adjust your mask for identification purposes when asked.
• Instead of handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, place it straight on the reader yourself. Then, hold it up for inspection.
• You can now take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. You'll need to remove it for X-ray scanning.
• To minimize handling during the screening process, put items such as your loose change and phone into your carry-on rather than into the bins.
• Separate any food you're carrying for X-ray scanning. Putting it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to touch and inspect your belongings.
