The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we travel, but it hasn't deterred our appetite for exploring. Here are a few tips on how to navigate travel's new challenges:

• Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before booking. Also check if there are any conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as testing and quarantining.
• You must wear a face mask at the airport, including at security checkpoints. Be ready to lower your mask for ID verification when asked.
• You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer. Rather, position the 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 larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to remove it from your bag at the X-ray machine for scanning.
• To minimize handling during the screening process, place personal items such as your phone, wallet and keys into your carry-on instead of into the bins.
• Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping food separate from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA employee will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.

In order to reduce contact between passengers and cabin crew during the ongoing pandemic, airlines have taken social distancing and other preventive measures to the skies. A great example of these are:

• Lufthansa - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and cleaning with disinfectant.
• Ryanair - this airline is known for cleaning with disinfectant and providing passenger masks.
• Condor - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and cleaning with disinfectant.
