The COVID-19 outbreak has ushered in significant changes to the way we travel. If you’re planning a vacation in Europe, these tips will help you navigate this new traveling reality:

• Before locking in your flight, check if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your origin and destination. Get the latest updates by checking government websites.
• When you pass through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be asked to lower it briefly to verify your identity. Travelers who refuse to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be denied boarding.
• Avoid handing your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA officer. Rather, position the pass on the scanner and then hold it up for inspection.
• 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 need to be removed from your bag for scanning.
• Empty your personal items from your pocket, like your wallet, coins and keys, and place them in your carry-on rather than into bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
• If you’re bringing food on the plane with you, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for closer inspection.

A useful strategy for picking up cheap airfares is to be flexible with your travel dates. Begin with searching for your flight to Europe, then click on the “flexible dates” link to compare prices for nearby days. Want another good tip? Book well ahead. To give you an idea of fares, S$149 was the lowest price for a flight to Europe in the last seven days.
