The COVID-19 outbreak has changed the way we travel, but it hasn't deterred our desire to explore. Here are a few tips on how to deal with the new challenges of traveling: Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before booking. Also check if there are any conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as testing and quarantining. When you go through airport checkpoints, do not remove your face mask. You will be required to briefly lower it for identification purposes. Travelers who refuse to wear a face mask may be denied entry or boarding. To avoid cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA agent. You're permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. You'll have to remove it for screening. Place any personal items (e.g, wallet, keys and phone) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during screening. Separate any food you're carrying for X-ray screening. Putting it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA employee to handle and inspect your belongings.
