The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we travel, but it hasn't dampened our passion for exploring. Here are some tips on how to cope with travel's new challenges:

• Find out if any restrictions apply to both your origin and destination. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so be sure to check before you book.
• You're required to wear a face mask at the airport, including at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to adjust your mask for identification purposes when asked by a TSA officer.
• Do not hand your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA officer. Instead, position your pass on the reader and then hold it up for the agent to visually inspect it.
• TSA is now allowing passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on baggage. This will have to be removed from your bag for scanning.
• To reduce handling during screening, place personal items such as your wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on instead of the bins.
• If you want to take food through security screening, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.
