Passengers on flights to Thailand SHOULD all wear masks on the plane - it's not fake news

Before the lifting of the mask mandate a few days ago, I'd guess!

The point was different airlines, different approach.

But why not truncate the post and go off at a tangent.

Why not comment on what I actually did?   I did not "truncate" your post, altering the context, I simply quoted the part that was relevant to my comment and my comment was an accurate observation of your remark.  There could not be a tangential element to my comment when I was directly responding to your specific point.

Nice bit of back-peddling there.

No back pedalling at all (and definitely no "back-peddling" [sic], whatever that is), I was just explaining to that poster how my quoting part of his post works on this forum. 

 

What I commented to him  originally was a 100% accurate observation.

My job before covid kept me flying weekly. I was frequently sick after travel. A couple of my frequent flyer friends in similar roles swore by wearing a mask and spending a minute wiping down touch surfaces. I gave it a go and I was rarely sick again.

 

Yes, it's acecdotal, but planes are flying petri dishes covid or not. I couldn't personally care less if anyone else wears a mask or doesn't, But, I'm happy to make sure I get on my way quickly, try not to inconvenience people around me and do what I'm asked of by an airline. Even if I personally think it's stupid.

If it means I do not fly at all then so be it.

How inane can you get, it's a mask <deleted>, not a bloody straightjacket.

Words have specific meaning.  The post headlines (in all caps) says "SHOULD", the first paragraph says "must", then later on "recommended".  

 

But the last sentence "Thus it was deemed not fake news though it appeared not to be a stipulation of boarding a flight."....

flew out of Swampy last week masks compulsory..lasted about an hour most took masks off crew said nothing..

Probably only one word in Thai to cover all these meanings....555

Same... but were told to put our masks back on after the meal service.... 

 

As soon as we arrived in the UK and got off the flight, masks off... 

 

 

IMO - its no hardship to wear a mask. I don’t like it, but those who are boycotting their travels because they don’t want to wear a mask are being rather childish, its just a mask... 

 

I’ve caught horrible colds on flights in the past that have nearly ruined holidays etc...  thus anyone who is slightly sick or has the snivels should be wearing a mask anyway - but people are selfish idiots, so won’t be upset if we have to wear a mask on any flights in future if it means selfish ayholes have less chance to spread their colds.

This morning, International flight with Thai Airways, message: "We recommend to wear a mask at all times"

 

No correction if you did not wear mask, Most people did wear it, maybe 5-10 did not. I wore upon boarding and exit the plane when every body stand so close to each other. And I saw some other that did not wear the mask put it on when they went to lavatory. I think that is the right way to go.

OK !

If any of you think that on your 10 hour or more flight has totally safe air because of the filters

on the airliner, you are in fantasy land. Filters cost money, airlines are trying to get some money back.

Do the math and wear your mask.  I have had 3 family members return from Thailand to Canada, and they did wear their masks,

but either on the plane or at the two stopover airports, they contracted COVID, and did 2 weeks quarantine.

  The concept of safe air on an airliners is just a nice thing to think about but not believe.

Most of the time when I take a flight to Europe, I will arrive with a cold.

 

Obviously their masks didn't save them from getting infected test positive on arrival.

 

Did they suffer severe symptoms because of their covid positive test results?

Why after 2 years into a pandemic do you still not understand the reason and idea behind wearing a mask.

Masks are to help prevent positive patients from passing the virus on, rather than acting as a shield to block the virus.

Good we won't miss you. Not only you want to spread disease but you have a strong potential to be one of those agitated passengers.

Thank you for your less than constructive contribution to the debate and your less than kind message but by the sound of it I suggest you seem to have the "qualities" to be the agitated passenger not me, also I would not be a passenger, agitated or otherwise, under the present regime!

Just a couple of points;

You seem to assume that I am not in Thailand at the moment and am desperate to fly.  Not quite the case!  

Also  am not "cutting of my nose to spite my face"  I am refusing, which is my right, to tavel on an airline that insists I cover my nose and other parts of my face.  

Ok Karen.

 

Have the taxi wait for you.

I find it difficult to comprehend that this would actually be a deal breaker for some.
