When it comes to flying these days, flexibility is key. That’s why we have a “No change fee” filter to help you find flexible, low-priced tickets to Japan. It’s at the top left of your screen right underneath the “Flexible change policies” subheading.

With new restrictions and safety precautions to follow, travel looks a lot different these days. These are some handy things to know before you hop on that plane to Japan:

• Before booking your flight, find out if any travel restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Keep informed with the latest updates by checking government travel advisories.
• Keep your face mask on during airport screening. A TSA officer will ask you to adjust your mask to verify your identity.
• Avoid handing your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA officer. Rather, place your pass on the reader and then hold it up for inspection.
• TSA is now allowing passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on bags. This will need to be removed from your bag at the X-ray machine for scanning.
• To minimize handling during the screening process, put items such as your keys, wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on rather than into the bins.
• Transport your 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 agent will need to open your bag for inspection.
