Crete Senesi Vacations from ￥259,000

COVID-19 has changed how we travel, but it hasn't curbed our appetite for exploring. Here are some tips on how to deal with the new challenges of traveling:

• Before committing to anything, see if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Stay informed with the latest updates by reviewing government and travel websites.
• You must wear a face mask at the airport, including at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to lower your mask for ID purposes when asked.
• Avoid handing your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA employee. Instead, position the pass on the reader and then hold it up for the agent to visually inspect it.
• You can take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. You'll have to remove it for X-ray scanning.
• To minimize handling during screening, put items such as your belt, phone and wallet into your carry-on instead of the bins.
• Separate any food you're carrying for screening. Food items often set off the alarm. Placing them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA employee to touch and inspect your belongings.
