What are some of the general tips for travellers to West Timor during the COVID-19 outbreak?
COVID-19 may have changed how we travel, but it hasn't put the brakes on our eagerness for exploring. Here are some tips on how to navigate travel's new challenges:
  • Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before committing to a flight. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as testing and quarantining.
  • When you pass through airport checkpoints, do not remove your face mask. You will be asked to lower it briefly to verify your identity. Anyone refusing to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the terminal.
  • Instead of handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, place it directly on the reader yourself. Then, hold it up for inspection.
  • You can take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. This will need to be taken out for X-ray screening.
  • Put any personal items (phone, wallet and keys) in your carry-on rather than a bin to reduce handling during screening.
  • 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 officer will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
