The COVID-19 pandemic may have changed the way we travel, but it hasn't shut down our desire to explore. Here are a few tips on how to navigate the new challenges of traveling:

• Know what, if any, restrictions or rules apply to both your origin and destination. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so remember to check before you book your flight.
• You're required to wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to adjust your mask for ID verification when asked by a TSA employee.
• 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 allowed 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 scanning.
• Place any personal items (phone, wallet and keys for example) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during the screening process.
• Separate any food you're carrying for X-ray scanning. Placing it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to handle and inspect your belongings.
