With new rules, restrictions and safety measures in effect, travel looks a little different nowadays. Here are some useful things to know before you get on that plane to Bodenseekreis:

• Before you book a flight, find out if any travel restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get up-to-date information by checking government and travel websites.
• When you go through airport checkpoints, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to lower it briefly for ID purposes. Passengers who refuse to wear a mask may be fined and denied entry.
• You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee. Rather, you should position the pass on the reader and then hold it up for the agent to visually inspect it.
• TSA is now allowing passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on luggage. This will have to be removed from your bag and presented for screening.
• To minimize handling during screening, place items such as your wallet, phone and belt 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.
