Lower Sugarloaf Key Holidays from AU$3,604

COVID-19 may have changed the way we travel, but it hasn't halted our eagerness for exploring. Here are a few tips on how to tackle the new challenges of travelling:

• Before locking in your flight, find out if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your origin and destination. Keep informed with the latest updates by reviewing government websites.
• Wear a face mask even during airport screening. A TSA officer will require you to temporarily lower your mask to verify your identity.
• Avoid handing your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA officer. Instead, position your pass on the scanner and then hold it up for the agent to visually inspect it.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on bag. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to take it out of your bag at the X-ray machine for screening.
• Place any personal items (phone, wallet and keys) in your carry-on instead of a bin to reduce handling during screening.
• If you want to take food through the security checkpoint, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.

As countries begin to lift travel restrictions, many airlines have resumed business with new measures including physical distancing and an increased supply of sanitizer and face masks. Here's what multiple carriers are doing to help combat COVID-19:

• American Airlines - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and cleaning with disinfectant.
• Delta - this airline is known for electrostatic cleaning and cleaning with disinfectant.
• Frontier Airlines - this airline is known for electrostatic cleaning and conducting passenger temperature checks.
