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

• Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before booking anything. Also check if there are any conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as mandatory quarantining.
• Wear a face mask during airport screening. A TSA officer will require you to adjust your mask for ID purposes.
• Instead of handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, place it straight on the scanner yourself. When that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• TSA is now allowing 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 and presented for screening.
• To minimize handling during screening, place items such as your phone, keys and wallet into your carry-on instead of the bins.
• Separate any food you have for screening. Placing it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA employee to handle and inspect your belongings.
