Padar Island Holidays from AU$862

With the continued impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak, travelling today comes with a few more challenges. Read through these helpful tips before hopping on your plane to Padar Island:

• Before booking anything, check if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your origin and destination. Keep informed with the latest updates by reviewing government websites.
• Keep your face mask on even during airport screening. A TSA officer will require you to adjust your mask for identification purposes.
• You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA officer. Rather, position your pass on the reader and then hold it up so the agent can inspect it.
• You can take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. You'll have to remove it for X-ray scanning.
• Remove items from your pockets, such as your phone, keys and wallet, and place them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
• Separate any food you have for screening. Placing it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA employee to touch and inspect your belongings.

From the check-in counter to the cabin, airlines across the world are practicing measures like social distancing to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Two great examples are:

• Wings Air (Indonesia) - this airline is known for conducting passenger temperature checks and cleaning with disinfectant.
• Garuda Indonesia - this airline is known for conducting passenger temperature checks and keeping the middle seat empty.
