Raja Ampat Holidays

The COVID-19 outbreak has led to substantial changes to how we travel. If you're planning a holiday in Raja Ampat, 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 don't forget to check government advisories before booking.
• Keep your face mask on during airport screening. A TSA employee will ask you to adjust your mask for identification purposes.
• Instead of handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, position it straight on the reader yourself. After that, hold it up for inspection.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on bag. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to take it out of your bag for screening.
• To reduce handling during screening, place personal items such as your keys, wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on rather than into the bins.
• If you're taking food on the plane with you, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
