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

• Look into what, if any, rules or restrictions apply to both your destination and origin. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so make sure you check before you lock in your flight.
• When you pass through airport checkpoints, keep your face mask on. You will be required to briefly lower it to verify your identity. Those who refuse to wear a mask may be fined and denied entry.
• Instead of handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, position it straight on the scanner yourself. When that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on bag. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to take it out of your bag at the X-ray machine for screening.
• Empty your personal items from your pockets, like your phone and wallet, and place them in your carry-on rather than into bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
• If you want to take food on the plane, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for closer inspection.
