The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we travel, but it hasn't shut down our desire to explore. Here are some tips on how to handle the new challenges of travelling:

• Understand if any restrictions apply to both your destination and origin. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so remember to check before you book your flight.
• Keep your face mask on even during airport screening. A TSA officer will ask you to temporarily lower your mask for ID purposes.
• To reduce the possibility of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA agent.
• One liquid hand sanitizer container is now permitted in your carry-on bag. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag for X-ray scanning.
• Put any personal items (e.g, keys, phone and coins) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during screening.
• If you're bringing food on board, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.

In order to limit contact between travellers and flight crew during the COVID-19 pandemic, airlines have taken physical distancing and other protective measures to the skies. These carriers include:

• Winair - this airline is known for cleaning with disinfectant and providing passenger masks.
• American Airlines - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and cleaning with disinfectant.
• JetBlue - this airline is known for keeping the middle seat empty and capped capacity flights.
