COVID-19 may have changed how we travel, but it hasn't put the brakes on our enthusiasm for exploring. Here are a few tips on how to handle travel's new challenges:

• Before you lock in a flight, check if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your origin and destination. Stay informed with the latest updates by checking government websites.
• Wear a face mask even during airport screening. A TSA employee will require you to temporarily lower your mask for identification purposes.
• To minimize the risk of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA agent.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on luggage. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to remove it from your bag for scanning.
• Empty everything from your pocket, such as your small change and phone, and put them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
• If you want to take food on the plane with you, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
