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

• Before booking anything, see if any travel restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Get the latest updates by reviewing government websites.
• Keep your face mask on even during airport screening. A TSA officer will ask you to adjust your mask for ID purposes.
• To decrease the risk 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.
• You're permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on baggage. This will need to be removed for X-ray screening.
• To minimize handling during the screening process, place items such as your phone and loose change into your carry-on instead of into the bins.
• Separate any food you have for X-ray scanning. Putting it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to touch and inspect your belongings.

In an effort to limit contact between passengers and flight crew for the remainder of the COVID-19 pandemic, airlines have taken physical distancing and other strategies to the skies. Just some of these are:

• EasyJet - this airline is known for cleaning with disinfectant and providing passenger masks.
• Jet2 - this airline is known for conducting passenger temperature checks and cleaning with disinfectant.
