COVID-19 has changed the way we travel, but it hasn't stopped our zeal for exploring. Here are some tips on how to cope with the new challenges of travelling:

• Before booking your flight, see if any travel restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get up-to-date information by checking government and airport websites.
• You're required to wear a face mask at the airport, even at screening checkpoints. Be ready to adjust your mask for ID purposes when asked.
• Do not hand your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA officer. Rather, you should position the pass on the scanner and then hold it up so the agent can inspect it.
• TSA is now permitting passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on luggage. This will have to be removed from your bag for screening.
• To minimize handling during screening, place items such as your loose change and phone into your carry-on instead of the bins.
• If you're bringing food on board, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.

While travelling during the COVID-19 pandemic can be slightly daunting, airlines have gone above and beyond to ensure the well-being of customers and crew. Here are a few carriers that have implemented changes:
