Get up-to-date information by reviewing official government websites. > - Wear a face mask even during airport screening. A TSA officer will require you to adjust your mask for ID purposes. > - Instead of handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, place it directly on the scanner yourself. After that, hold it up for inspection. > - TSA now allows passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on bags. This will need to be removed from your bag and presented for screening. > - Place any personal items (keys, wallet and phone) in your carry-on rather than a bin to reduce handling during the screening process. > - If you're taking food through security screening, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for inspection. ### Which airlines fly to Sumba? ### How can I find cheap tickets to Sumba? ### How much is a flight to Sumba? ### What are the most popular airports to fly into in Sumba? ### When is the cheapest time to fly to Sumba? ### How much is a plane ticket to Sumba? ### Which airlines with flights to Sumba employ COVID-19 cleanliness policies? ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia - Accommodation - Flights - Packages - Cars - [Rindi Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Rindi.d553248635975852887.Hotel-Destinations) - [Lewa Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lewa-Hotels.d553248634921831800.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Melolo Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melolo-Hotels.d553248634921836811.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Mondu Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mondu-Hotels.d553248634943512441.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Hotels near Nihiwatu Beach ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nihiwatu-Beach-Hotels.0-l553248621532738642-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) - [Nihiwatu Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nihiwatu-Hotels.d6049332.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Hotels near Prai Ijing Megalithic Village ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Prai-Ijing-Megalithic-Village-Hotels.0-l553248635975970311-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) - [Rua Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rua-Hotels.d553248635975970313.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Hotels near Tambolaka ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tambolaka-Airport-Hotels.0-aTMC-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) - [Tambolaka Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tambolaka-Hotels.d3478.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Tapil Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tapil-Hotels.d553248635973263441.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Tarimbang Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tarimbang-Hotels.d3000437171.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Waikabubak Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Waikabubak-Hotels.d3000478024.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Waingapu Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Waingapu-Hotels.d3782.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Waitabula Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Waitabula-Hotels.d3000437161.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Wanokaka Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wanokaka-Hotels.d553248635947280280.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Watu Nggene Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Watu-Nggene-Hotels.d553248634943482806.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Flights from Waingapu ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/airports/wgp/flights-from-waingapu-airport) - [Flights from Jakarta (CGK) to Tambolaka (TMC) ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/cgk/tmc/jakarta-to-tambolaka) - [Flights from Denpasar (DPS) to Tambolaka (TMC) ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/dps/tmc/denpasar-to-tambolaka) - [Flights from Denpasar (DPS) to Waingapu (WGP) ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/dps/wgp/denpasar-to-waingapu) - [Flights from Hamburg (HAM) to Tambolaka (TMC) ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ham/tmc/hamburg-to-tambolaka) - [Flights from Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to Tambolaka (TMC) ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/kul/tmc/kuala-lumpur-to-tambolaka) - [Flights from London (LHR) to Tambolaka (TMC) ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/tmc/london-to-tambolaka) - [Kerewei Beach ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kerewei-Beach-Nihiwatu.d553248635975969826.Attraction) - [Visit Lewa ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lewa.dx553248634921831800) - [Mondu Holidays ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mondu.d553248634943512441.Holidays-City-Breaks) - [Visit Mondu ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mondu.dx553248634943512441) - [Nihiwatu Holidays ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nihiwatu.d6049332.Holidays-City-Breaks) - [Rua Holidays ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rua.d553248635975970313.Holidays-City-Breaks) - [Visit Tambolaka ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tambolaka.dx3478) - [Tapil Holidays ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tapil.d553248635973263441.Holidays-City-Breaks) - [Visit Tapil ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tapil.dx553248635973263441) - [Waikabubak Holidays ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Waikabubak.d3000478024.Holidays-City-Breaks) - [Visit Waingapu ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Waingapu.dx3782) - [Visit Waitabula ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Waitabula.dx3000437161) - [Visit Wanokaka ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wanokaka.dx553248635947280280) - [Hertz Rental Cars in Tambolaka ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hertz-Car-Rentals-In-Tambolaka.d6032485-c40.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) \* Savings based on package bookings compared to the price of the same components booked separately.
