Riau Archipelago Packages (Flight + Hotel)

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 pandemic, you'll notice a few more regulations and rules in place. Take note of these tips and make your getaway to Riau Archipelago go off without a hitch:

• Understand if any restrictions apply to both your origin and destination. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so remember to check before you book.
• You must wear a face mask at the airport, including at security checkpoints. You should be prepared to adjust your mask for ID verification when asked by a TSA officer.
• To reduce the risk of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee.
• You can now 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.
• Remove personal items from your pocket, such as your keys, phone and wallet, and put them in your carry-on instead of into bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
• If you're bringing food on board, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
