COVID-19 has changed the way we travel, but it hasn't stopped our passion for exploring. Here are a few tips on how to handle travel's new challenges:

• Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before locking in your flight. Also check if there are any requirements you'll have to follow on arrival, such as mandatory quarantining.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, even at screening checkpoints. Be ready to lower your mask for ID verification when asked.
• To reduce the potential of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA agent.
• One liquid hand sanitizer container is now allowed in your carry-on baggage. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to remove it from your bag at the X-ray machine for screening.
• Empty your personal items from your pockets, such as your keys, phone and wallet, and place them in your carry-on rather than into bins. This will reduce handling during screening.
• Transport your food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA officer will need to open your bag for inspection.

Social distancing is the tip of the iceberg for new air travel measures to minimize the spread of COVID-19. From your first steps on board, these carriers will whisk you away to your destination with comfort and confidence:
