Bukovina Holidays from £402

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

• Know what rules and restrictions apply to both your destination and origin. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so remember to check before you book.
• When you go through airport checkpoints, keep your face mask on. You will be required to briefly lower it for identification purposes. Those who refuse to wear a mask may face civil penalties and may also be denied boarding.
• Avoid handing your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA employee. Rather, place your pass on the reader and then 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 bag. This will need to be taken out for X-ray scanning.
• To minimize handling during the screening process, place personal items such as your wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on instead of the bins.
• If you're bringing food on board, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.

Hop on a plane now and you're sure to notice that things have changed. For instance, most reputable airlines have implemented social distancing and improved hygiene standards. Two of these are:

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