The COVID-19 pandemic may have changed how we travel, but it hasn't dampened our passion for exploring. Here are some tips on how to handle travel's new challenges: Before committing to anything, find out if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your destination and origin. Stay informed with the latest updates by checking government travel advisories. When you pass through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be required to lower it briefly to verify your identity. Passengers who refuse to wear a mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the building. To minimize the risk of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA employee. You're allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your hand luggage. You'll have to remove it for screening. To reduce handling during the screening process, put items such as your loose change and phone into your carry-on rather than into the bins. Transport your food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA officer will need to open your bag for inspection.
