COVID-19 has changed how we travel, but it hasn't halted our eagerness for exploring. Here are a few tips on how to cope with travel's new challenges:

• Before committing to anything, find out if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get up-to-date information by checking government and travel websites.
• You must wear a face mask at the airport, even at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to adjust your mask for ID purposes when asked.
• To decrease the risk of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your 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 bags. This will have to be removed from your bag for screening.
• To minimize handling during screening, put items such as your phone, coins and keys into your carry-on rather than the bins.
• Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Keeping food separate from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA agent will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.

In an effort to lessen the contact between travellers and flight crew during the COVID-19 pandemic, most reputable airlines have taken physical distancing and other strategies to the skies. A great example of these are:

• Austrian Airlines - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and cleaning with disinfectant.
• Transavia - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and cleaning with disinfectant.
• EasyJet - this airline is known for cleaning with disinfectant and providing passenger masks.
