Things to consider
- Arrival to Komodo international airport will likely mean a stopover on the way. This should be taken into consideration in regard to cost and also if there is a need to travel a day or early to ensure arrival in Flores on Day 1.
- Classes and schools may have changes to their schedule with short notice. The team leader is constantly working to ensure that we are able to keep to the itinerary as much as possible.
