“We kindly ask pilgrims who have not yet left for the airport to prepare their belongings according to the regulations while still at the hotel, to ensure a smooth airport inspection process,” he added.

For the return flight to Indonesia, pilgrims are only allowed to carry a passport pouch and one small cabin suitcase onboard.
