When will we fly again?

Not in 2020.. IMO

I think after the majority of countries get a hold on the situation, they will not rush to open up borders etc.. and when they do, people will be told to isolate for 14 days upon entry. Making holidays a little pointless.

If you have flights to Spain booked and paid for September and Spain was demanding quarantine for 14 days for arrivals should you be entitled to a refund?

Not really if you were booked to return in a week and were officially required to quarantine for a fortnight. It’s not quite as black and white as it being a “personal choice”.

That's what I am i.e booked for a week's trip.

I’m supposed to be going to Italy the last week of June into July

Nobody knows, best to plan for the virus to be gone, buy holiday and make plans. Otherwise it’s fairly depressing

Keep in mind Airlines WILL go bankrupt before this is out, and it's never fun or easy getting money bank from them, even when they are solvent.

Actually might cycle to the Continent, ferry, UK, ferry, anybody who comes through this will have "all the time in the world" for taking deep grateful breaths on the open road.

So basically your view of something that is current to do with health and travel be stuck at the end of a thread that is 4 or 5 years old.
I was not talking about Air Traffic, i was saying that quite a large proportion of the world is carrying on as normal.



get real...

As pointed out there is a current Flight Radar thread. They might calm your fears over the amount of planes in the sky.

To me it looks very quiet, at the time of this there was only one plane over all of ireland.

I wonder when we will fly again?

Is it very unrealistic to think we could be flying again and going on holidays in time for the August bank holiday?

I'd be quietly confident that things will slowly get going again from June but like to hear what other people's opinions are?

Should be grand for Cheltenham next March..........:mad:

I hope this might bring back border control, we should be checking temperatures at the airports since January and we would have detected alot of the cases coming into Ireland, arrest them and chuck them into isolation and it would have saved lives, all those flights in from Italy and Cheltenham should have been screened, it wouldn't have stopped it fully but it would have slowed it down alot and saved many lives. Ireland and Northern Ireland need to bring in similar quarantine rules to operate as one to prevent future infection, imagine if Ebola went airborne we would be looking at a failed state and societal collapse.

Once the pandemic ends which it will then we are looking at a changed world, I don't see any country in a rush to lift the Chinese visa bans that are in place and imagine the likes of Thailand 20 years ago before it got destroyed. The economy will be in the toilet so hotels etc. will go down but airfares will temporarily go up, however with tonnes of perfect planes lying idle or in auction houses then we will see new companies emerge. Ryanair being strong and stable might emerge as a transatlantic player or move into new markets which were decimated now.

Every cloud will have a silver lining and there will be more new opportunities arising out of this we never thought imaginable. Manufacturing globally will be decentralised out of China, China will still be important but no company will risk having all their eggs in one market, I can see low cost nations like India and Nigeria getting a slice of the manufacturing and a large amount of critical technology and medical all returning to Europe and the US. Ireland has a huge Pharma tech industry, expect this to really boom as outsourced industries are returned home under Govt orders, US Med companies will relocate from China to here since we are an ally. China will face sanctions and higher tariffs and most likely end up like the CCCP isolated until the CCP implodes and there is a revolution there.

1, Free rows in planes, middle seat free.
2. Lots of direct flights to Lourdes,
3 Ryanair will force families to sit together.
4. Planes 1/2 full= double the price as nervous people won't fly.
5. Up in the air again when infection rates drop to doubling 16 to 18 days ( like an Irish Banker I picked those numbers out of mi aghrse)

With regard to temperature, the way I understand it, is t that an infected person can spread infection for 5 days without themselves experiencing any symptoms or having temperature. That fact asymptomatic spread is the nasty sh1t with this thorny koont
