COVID-19 has changed the way we travel, but it hasn't done away with our appetite 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.
• You're required to wear a face mask at the airport, including at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to adjust your mask to verify your identity when asked.
• You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA officer. Instead, place your pass on the reader and then hold it up for the agent to visually inspect it.
• 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 at the X-ray machine for screening.
• Empty everything from your pocket, like your wallet and phone, and put them in your carry-on rather than into bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
• Separate any food you have for X-ray scanning. Food items often trigger the alarm. Putting them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to handle and inspect your belongings.

In an effort to reduce contact between travellers and flight crew during the COVID-19 outbreak, the majority of airlines have taken physical distancing and other precautionary measures to the skies. They include:
