Also check if there are any conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as mandatory quarantining. > - When you go through airport checkpoints, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to lower it briefly to confirm your identity. Passengers who refuse to wear a face mask may be denied entry or boarding. > - You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA employee. Instead, position your pass on the reader and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it. > - You're permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. This will need to be removed for X-ray scanning. > - Put any personal items (like your phone, wallet and keys) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during the screening process. > - If you're planning to take food on the plane with you, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for inspection. ### Which airlines fly to Sumatra? ### How can I find cheap tickets to Sumatra? ### How much is a flight to Sumatra? ### What are the most popular airports to fly into in Sumatra? ### When is the cheapest time to fly to Sumatra? ### How much is a plane ticket to Sumatra? ### Which airlines with flights to Sumatra employ COVID-19 cleanliness policies? > - AirAsia - this airline is known for conducting passenger temperature checks and cleaning with disinfectant. > - Malaysia Airlines - this airline is known for conducting passenger temperature checks and cleaning with disinfectant. > - Jetstar Asia Airways - this airline is known for conducting passenger temperature checks and cleaning with disinfectant. ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia \* Savings based on package bookings compared to the price of the same components booked separately.
