The COVID-19 outbreak has changed how we travel, but it hasn't deterred our lust for exploring. Here are some 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. Get the latest updates by checking government and travel websites.
• Wear a face mask even during airport screening. A TSA employee will require you to adjust your mask for identification purposes.
• To minimize the risk 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.
• TSA is now allowing passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on baggage. This will have to be removed from your bag for scanning.
• Empty everything from your pocket, like your wallet, coins and keys, and place them in your carry-on instead of into bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
• If you're planning to take food on the plane, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.

• JetBlue - this airline is known for keeping the middle seat empty and capped capacity flights.
• American Airlines - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and cleaning with disinfectant.
