COVID-19 Pandemic: Updates for the 2020-2021 Holiday Travel Season

Airports 2020-12-28 ParkingNearAirports.io

The daily number of airline passengers screened by the Transportation Safety Administration this year is still down compared to 2019. But as the holiday approaches, the number has risen substantially - from less than 100,00 travelers per day in April to at least 1 million travelers per day as of December 20th. Are you planning to fly this holiday season? Then, here are some of the things that you should expect before booking a flight. At the airport terminal Always bring alcohol wipes and hand sanitizer wherever you go. Wipe down anything you’re going to touch and sanitize your hands as much as possible to lower your risk of infection. Major airlines and airports in the United States are also following the CDC guidelines, so you don’t need to worry. They do various sanitizing practices, which include cleaning all ticket counters, gate seating, check-in kiosks, and other frequently touched areas with disinfectant sprays or solutions. They do these practices multiple times a day, along with providing hand sanitizer booths throughout boarding and ticket areas. These airlines also require all passengers to wear face masks onboard. They are only allowed to remove their masks when they are drinking or eating. For those who won’t follow this protocol may be banned from future flights. During the flight Some of the major airlines are blocking middle seats to enforce social distancing for their passengers. They also have air-filtering systems, such as high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters, that can remove up to 99.97% bacteria, airborne particles, mold, dust, and pollen. The CDC also suggests travelers to wipe anything they touch - the area where they will be sitting, the armrests of the seat, and the tray table. In other words, wipe everything around your area before touching it. Cancelling or changing flights Airlines are trying to address their passengers’ concerns about upcoming flights by promoting temporary reprieves on cancellation or change penalties. No-fee cancellations and changes on new bookings, as well as steep discounts are offered by most providers, too. On the other hand, a lot of tour operators have suspended trips in the near future - while the major cruise lines in the country postponed itineraries into the winter or spring. Cancellation policies on different hotel chains have been loosened, waiving cancellation or change fees that would normally apply to non-refundable rates.
