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

• Research the rules and restrictions in both your origin and destination. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so check before you lock in your flight.
• Keep your face mask on during airport screening. A TSA employee will require you to temporarily lower your mask to verify your identity.
• Instead of handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, place it straight on the reader yourself. When that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted 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 for X-ray screening.
• To reduce handling during screening, place items such as your loose change and phone into your carry-on instead of into the bins.
• 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 agent will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
