COVID-19 has changed how we travel, but it hasn't deterred our love of exploring. Here are some tips on how to navigate travel's new challenges:

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before locking in your flight. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as mandatory quarantining.
• Keep your face mask on during airport screening. A TSA employee will ask you to lower your mask temporarily to verify your identity.
• Instead of handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, position it straight on the scanner yourself. When that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• You are now allowed to 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.
• Remove items from your pockets, like your wallet and phone, and put them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
• Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA agent will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.

Social distancing is the tip of the iceberg for new air travel measures to minimize the spread of COVID-19. From the waiting lounge to your designated seat, these carriers will take you to your destination with comfort and confidence:
