Popular Post webfact Posted February 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 16, 2022 file photo 65% of Expats in Thailand say unvaccinated passengers should sit in separate areas on aeroplanes according to a survey by ASEAN NOW. 570 Expats across Thailand completed the ASEAN NOW survey on vaccinations, which also revealed more interesting insights. In fact, 74% agreed that governments should have the right to impose restrictions on arrival for unvaccinated people. Surprisingly was that 65% also wanted airlines to place unvaccinated passengers in separate areas in the cabin. Of course, it is not unusual to catch a virus on a plane when there is little social distancing. The survey which was posted on forums in several Asian countries including Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines shows how expats view the current situation. Here are the full results. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2022-02-16 - Aetna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Popular Post soi3eddie Posted February 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) Personally I'm not bothered whether passengers are vaccinated or not (I am triple vaxxed). However, to resume easier travel why not simply impose following rules for travel to ANY county with NO restrictions on arrival: 1) PCR Test within 48 hours of departure or border crossing (set-up more fast testing locations in/near airports etc.) 2) ALL passengers must have had at least 2 vaccinations 3) NO restrictions on arrival - get on with life Sooner or later the world is going to have to wake up to the impending economic disaster of reduced travel. Not just tourism but business and development. Look at cities such as London, New York and Bangkok in terms of huge business distress.

Why not ? and if in addition we could ban certain citizens of countries in Eastern Europe, that would be a plus.

No manned check-in, all automated. Passengers need to pass spray booth before moving to dedicted departure area, and are in a locked area, no shopping no coffe shops etc., / not allowed to mix with other people at the airport. Passenger puts check-in and cabin bags in a trough and drenched with antiseptic spray,all automated, If damaged bad luck, no reimbursement available. No cabin crew, just self serve water coffee and cookies. Announcements re 'be seated and buckle up for landing etc.,' all automated. If passengers don't and are injured their own responsibility, airline not responsible at all. ... and more... In other words don't fly is you're unvaccinated. 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TheScience Posted February 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 16, 2022 This is hilarious. People are so ignorant and weak. There is no evidence of airborne disease spreading thru planes (especially covid) in any amount that is concerning. If you are that concerned maybe they should not fly at all. The full air circulation / exchange in a plane is something like 100% turn over in less than five minutes. You'd think it was Ebola. Even CNN knows this https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/airplanes-ventilation-study-covid-19/index.html It's over.

Popular Post Bkk Brian Posted February 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 16, 2022 If you have the budget and its a busy flight then best to book first or business class seats for added protection as Omicron changed the dynamics, last thing I would want is sitting next to an unvaccinated passenger from a country that is known for fake pcr tests. Airplane Passengers At Least Twice As Likely To Catch Covid-19 Because Of Omicron, Airline Trade Body Says The omicron variant of the coronavirus raises the risk of infection on board a passenger plane by two or even three-fold, according to the airline industry’s biggest trade body, a finding that may foreshadow an exponential increase in cases as millions of travelers take to the skies to be with their families during the holiday season. https://www.forbes.com/sites/siladityaray/2021/12/22/airplane-passengers-at-least-twice-as-likely-to-catch-covid-19-because-of-omicron-airline-trade-body-says/?sh=519125c5536b 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
