Maybe — a couple of new bills have been introduced in both The House and Senate to mandate that ANYONE boarding a US flight be vaccinated for COVID — no vaccination no flight … we’ll watch and see if this flies.
Yup, good news! American is bringing back its signature warm nuts service — but only for business class and on long haul flights … hopefully, free service options will soon get better in “packed” coach class????
Require all “tenants — airlines et al — and service contractors” to have their COVID vaccination — effective IMMEDIATELY — will other US airports follow?
INCLUDING those who refuse to wear a mask, and that includes taking them off during flights. The punishment: banned from flying — on any airline — for a year or more! As well as a hefty fine — travel smart and be safe!!!
Yup, looks like the more “overpriced” upscale shops normally found at airports maybe be disappearing — in favor of “grab and go” food, beverages, small gift merchandise and even vending machines that dispense hot foods (full size pizza, pasta dishes, stuffed potatoes) and more. with the lack of flight food service options passengers will be bringing their own “picnic” on board — the TC recently saw a passenger carrying six full-size pizza boxes onboard a 6 plus domestic flight – messy and smelly!!!
BELIZE! From hubs in Seattle and Los Angeles, look for some ticket and package bargains with service starting mid-November!!!
Alaska and TSA are testing a new airport security reservation program that allows passengers to make an “appointment” for passing through TSA security — the test is taking place ONLY at the carrier’s Seattle hub, and so far results are positive — so good in fact, appointment time is being expanded from 24 hours to 72. Will the test program “fly” with other carriers and at additional airport locations???
Fares from the U.S. could be $350 each way — with some business class tickets under a $1000 round trip. BUT — know COVID restrictions for your final destination AND any intermediate transit stops. Do your travel homework and don’t be surprised!!!
Watch for details, BUT … the US may relax in November European Country travel into the US — with proper COVID pre-travel requirements — could happen in November and provide a big boost in needed Holiday Travel???
Looks that way — but only in First Class!!! US Domestic coach passengers may “NEVER” taste hot food again on flights!!!
