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

• Before you book a flight, check if any travel restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get up-to-date information by checking government and airport websites.
• Keep your face mask on during airport screening. A TSA employee will ask you to lower your mask temporarily for identification purposes.
• Do not hand your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA officer. Instead, you should place the pass on the reader and then hold it up for the agent to visually inspect it.
• You’re permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on luggage. This will need to be removed for X-ray screening.
• Put any personal items (phone, keys and wallet) in your carry-on instead of a bin to reduce handling during screening.
• If you’re bringing food through security screening, 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 carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
