The COVID-19 pandemic may have changed how we travel, but it hasn't halted our love of exploring. Here are some tips on how to tackle the new challenges of traveling:

• Before booking anything, see if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Keep informed with the latest updates by reviewing government and airport websites.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at security checkpoints. Be ready to lower your mask for identification purposes when asked by a TSA employee.
• To reduce the possibility of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on luggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag at the X-ray machine for screening.
• Put any personal items (phone, keys and wallet) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during screening.
• Transport your food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA employee will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
