With the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, travelling now comes with more challenges than in the past. Cast your eye over these valuable tips before hopping on your plane to Laos:

• Understand the restrictions and rules in both your origin and destination. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so make sure you check before you book.
• When you pass through airport checkpoints, do not remove your face mask. You will be required to briefly lower it to confirm your identity. Those who refuse to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be denied boarding.
• To reduce the likelihood of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA agent.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on baggage. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you’ll have to remove it from your bag for X-ray scanning.
• Empty everything from your pocket, like your wallet, phone and small change, and put them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will reduce handling during screening.
• If you want to take food on the plane with you, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
