COVID-19 may have changed the way we travel, but it hasn't halted our desire to explore. Here are some tips on how to deal with the new challenges of travelling:

• Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before locking in your flight. Also check if there are any requirements you'll have to follow on arrival, such as proof of a negative COVID-19 test.
• You're required to wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, even at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to adjust your mask for identification purposes when asked by a TSA employee.
• Avoid handing your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA employee. Rather, place your pass on the reader and then hold it up for the agent to visually inspect it.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on luggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to remove it from your bag for X-ray screening.
• To reduce handling during the screening process, place personal items such as your keys, wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on rather than the bins.
• If you want to take food through the security checkpoint, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.
