The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we travel, but it hasn’t put the brakes on our enthusiasm for exploring. Here are a few tips on how to cope with the new challenges of travelling:

• Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before locking in a flight. Also check if there are any requirements you’ll have to follow on arrival, such as undergoing health assessments.
• Requirements state that you must wear a face mask at the airport, including at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to lower your mask for ID verification when asked.
• To avoid 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 officer.
• TSA now permits 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 at the X-ray machine for scanning.
• Remove personal items from your pocket, like your wallet and phone, and put them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
• Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on means it’s less likely a TSA officer will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
