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 navigate travel's new challenges:

• Look into the rules and restrictions in both your destination and origin. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so remember to check before you lock something in.
• You're required to wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, even at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to lower your mask for ID verification when asked by a TSA officer.
• Rather than handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, place it straight on the reader yourself. Once that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on baggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to take it out of your bag for X-ray scanning.
• To reduce handling during screening, put items such as your phone, wallet and keys into your carry-on instead of the bins.
• Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA employee will need to open your bag for inspection.

In order to reduce contact between passengers and cabin crew during the current pandemic, most airlines have taken physical distancing and other precautionary measures to the skies. A good example of these are:

• AirAsia - this airline is known for conducting passenger temperature checks and cleaning with disinfectant.
• Firefly - this airline is known for cleaning with disinfectant and providing passenger masks.
• Malaysia Airlines - this airline is known for conducting passenger temperature checks and cleaning with disinfectant.
