The COVID-19 pandemic may have changed the way we travel, but it hasn't deterred our desire to explore. Here are some tips on how to tackle the new challenges of travelling:

• Know what rules and restrictions apply to both your destination and origin. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so make sure you check before you lock in your flight.
• You must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at security checkpoints. Be prepared to adjust your mask to verify your identity when asked by a TSA employee.
• Instead of handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, position it directly on the reader yourself. After that, hold it up for inspection.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on bag. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to take it out of your bag at the X-ray machine for scanning.
• Empty your personal items from your pocket, such as your phone and wallet, and place them in your carry-on instead of into bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
• Transport your 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 employee will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
