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

• Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before committing to a flight. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as mandatory quarantining.
• When you pass through airport checkpoints, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to briefly lower it to verify your identity. Travellers who refuse to wear a mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the terminal.
• Instead of handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, place it straight on the reader yourself. Once that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• You can take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on luggage. You'll need to remove it 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.
• Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA officer will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.

To help minimize contact between travellers and flight crew during the ongoing pandemic, airlines have taken social distancing and other protective measures to the skies. These carriers include:

• Volaris - this airline is known for conducting passenger temperature checks and providing passenger masks.
• VivaAerobus - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and cleaning with disinfectant.
• Aeromexico - this airline is known for conducting passenger temperature checks and cleaning with disinfectant.
