What are some of the general tips for travellers to Flores Island during the COVID-19 outbreak?
COVID-19 has triggered huge changes to how we travel. If you're flying to Flores Island, the following tips will help you navigate these new rules and challenges:
  • Find out what, if any, restrictions or rules apply to both your origin and destination. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so remember to check before you lock something in.
  • Requirements state you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, even at screening checkpoints. Be ready to adjust your mask to verify your identity when asked by a TSA officer.
  • Do not hand your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA employee. Instead, position the pass on the scanner and then hold it up so the agent can inspect it.
  • TSA now permits 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 at the X-ray machine for screening.
  • To minimize handling during screening, put items such as your phone, keys and wallet into your carry-on instead of into the bins.
  • If you're taking food on the plane, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
