The COVID-19 outbreak has changed how we travel, but it hasn't stopped our passion for exploring. Here are a few tips on how to cope with the new challenges of traveling:

• Before you book a flight, check if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your destination and origin. Stay informed with the latest updates by reviewing government and travel websites.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, even at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to lower your mask for ID purposes when asked by a TSA officer.
• To minimize the risk of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee.
• You're permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on baggage. You'll have to remove it for X-ray screening.
• Empty everything from your pocket, like your wallet, keys and phone, and place them in your carry-on rather than into bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
• If you want to take food through security screening, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.

To help minimize contact between travelers and flight crew during the current pandemic, most airlines have taken physical distancing and other strategies to the skies. Just some of these are:

• Vueling - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and cleaning with disinfectant.
• EasyJet - this airline is known for cleaning with disinfectant and providing passenger masks.
• Ryanair - this airline is known for cleaning with disinfectant and providing passenger masks.
