COVID-19 has changed the way we travel, but it hasn't stifled our lust for exploring. Here are some tips on how to cope with travel's new challenges:

• Find out what rules and restrictions apply to both your origin and destination. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so don't forget to check before you lock in your flight.
• When you go through airport checkpoints, keep your face mask on. You will be required to lower it briefly for identification purposes. Those who refuse to wear a face mask may be denied entry or boarding.
• To reduce the potential of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA agent.
• TSA now permits 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 for scanning.
• To reduce handling during the screening process, put items such as your phone, wallet and keys into your carry-on instead of into the bins.
• Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA agent will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
