What are some of the general tips for travelers to Sumba during the COVID-19 outbreak?
With the continuation of the COVID-19 outbreak, traveling now comes with a few more challenges than usual. Read through these worthwhile tips before jumping on your flight to Sumba:
  • Before committing to anything, see if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Get up-to-date information by reviewing official government websites.
  • Wear a face mask even during airport screening. A TSA officer will require you to adjust your mask for ID purposes.
  • Instead of handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, place it directly on the scanner yourself. After that, hold it up for inspection.
  • TSA now allows passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on bags. This will need to be removed from your bag and presented for screening.
  • Place any personal items (keys, wallet and phone) in your carry-on rather than a bin to reduce handling during the screening process.
  • If you're taking food through security screening, 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 inspection.
