What are some of the general tips for travellers to Sumbawa during the COVID-19 outbreak?
The COVID-19 outbreak has affected how the world works in all sorts of ways, and travel has changed with it. The following tips will help you understand the new challenges and prepare you for your escape to Sumbawa:
  • Before booking your flight, check if any travel restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Stay informed with the latest updates by reviewing government travel advisories.
  • When you pass through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be asked to briefly lower it to verify your identity. Those who refuse to wear a face mask may be denied entry or boarding.
  • To minimize the risk of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer.
  • One liquid hand sanitizer container is now permitted in your carry-on luggage. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to take it out of your bag at the X-ray machine for screening.
  • Empty everything from your pockets, like your wallet, phone and small change, and place them in your carry-on rather than into bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
  • Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA officer will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
