I am unclear how this changes the Covid 19 precautions/restrictions currently in effect for mainland flights to Hawaii. Your headline is “Vaccination for All Hawaii Travelers Is Imminent” – I didn’t see in your article that soon Hawaiian bound travelers will all need to be fully vaccinated. I may have missed it as am reading on a broken screened mobile phone! Very much appreciate your newsletter!
Hi Aimee.
Thanks. Should this be implemented, it would obviate the need for Hawaii Safe Travels. It is too soon to know how that will all shake out. As we said in the past few days, it seems that there will be some lessening of Hawaii restrictions in the next few weeks, given the rapid drop in recent cases. How much of those will impact travel directly isn’t yet clear. Stay tuned for more – this is ever-changing it seems.
Aloha.
We have flown to Hawaii every year for almost 20 years. Also fly all over the mainland and Europe. But if you have to be vaccinated to travel…. our flying days are over and it will be road trips from now on. This isn’t about health.
I absolutely am with you. My entire family had covid and we recovered. I also of an Arsenal should we ever get it again and I’m confident that we would recover again.
100%
Fortunately there is zero indication this is absolutely happening
Hawaii may elect to eradicate 40% of its tourism under the guise of “public safety”, but, if so, it would be short-lived
I think if you read this carefully, it says that this would be a federal law. The bill is in the US Senate. I know it is popular to bash Hawaii’s travel rules, but your sentiment here is misplaced.
I agree with this. Vaccines should be required. It would make me feel much more comfortable flying on a 7 hour flight, sitting within 6 feet of, say, 75 people.
“…sitting within 6 feet of, say, 75 people.”
You couldn’t stand within 6 feet of All 75 people, if you were right next to each other. The closest number of people on a 100% full flight that you would be sitting within 6 feet of (for any lengthy period of time) would maybe be 8 or so depending on the seat you are in…less if you have the bulk head in front of you. Fact is planes are predominantly not running at capacity to many places, and definitely not to Hawaii, at least right now.
Not sure why people have to exaggerate to make a point, but forcing people to inject themselves with a drug, because it makes people like you “feel better” is not following any kind of science. Especially when being on a modern jet is safer that shopping at your local grocery store, with the airlines having HEPA filtration systems on board.
You want to feel better? Stop watching the nightly programming, that shows you nothing but doom, gloom and pushes more division than it encourages unity.
It shouldn’t
Vaccines don’t prevent infection and spread
Follow the science from reputable agencies like the CDC
Finally – intelligence reigns supreme! The thought of being in a flying tin can with someone who has COVID because they didn’t test or aren’t vaccinated was not within my comfort zone (although we did do it in July/August).
“Has Covid because they didn’t test or aren’t vaccinated” does not make sense
People who have tested are unlikely to
Infect you with Covid
People who skipped the testing because they are vaccinated are as likely as anyone else to infect you ( and far more likely than a recently tested person)
Science.
Absolutely disgusting! ….where they slowly take all of our freedoms away.
ANDY M… They aren’t taking your freedom away – you still have the freedom to get the virus!!!
Look who is getting Covid- the VX 🤣
I agree with negative Covid test for all passengers VX and non VX. Test before flight to protect everyone.
People VX can not only get Covid but transmit to everyone.
Supreme Court decision, 1904, Jacobson v. Massachusetts. Basically had to do with the safety of the general public.
The “general public” lives off of McDonalds and Twinkies. Which is one thing that makes the islands so wonderful….some do but many more don’t, as compared to the Mainland.
Does the “general public” not bear any responsibility for its ‘lifestyle”? So many casualties amongst those who have chosen to “live” that way. And now we are all punished.
YAY! We’ve been traveling to Kauai annually for the past 20 or so years. We look forward to returning this year. Fully vaccinated, soon to get my booster and proud of it. I’ll do whatever I can to keep myself and the local population safe. I fully endorse vaccine and mask mandates. Aloha!
So you will get tested before and after the trip? That is what’s needed to keep people safe
I will feel much safer when this bill is enacted flying anywhere, including Hawaii. Being locked into a small metal table flying through the air next to who knowns who right now is pretty scary.
I just returned from 3 weeks at our timeshare on the beautiful Island of Kauai! I am vaccinated but not once did I feel uneasy. When we ate out, it was either outside or where all the windows were open. Service was great, people were kind (even if they were short handed) and everyone was great about wearing their mask. I had booked our car back in February (great rates back then with Costco travel) so no issues there other than the long line to pick it up.
I feel more uneasy being back in my state in the mainland where no one seems to care…no mask wearing, etc. Kudos to Kauai and the people for the aloha spirit!! Until next time…Mahalo!!!
Hi Sherry.
Thanks for the feedback on your recent Hawaii vacation.
Aloha.
Yes, I would feel safer on an all vaccinated flight. 7 plus hours with close proximity is too long with an unvaccinated next to me.
I think this is horrible!!! We are allowing the government to much overreach! Wake up people. We start giving into this and what is next? I felt safe prior to all the brohaha. We live in a world were the government is pushing fear and people are following into that.
LESLIE J… The government is still allowing you to choose whether to be fearful or not – you can get vaccinated and not be fearful or you can stay “fearful” – it’s your choice!
Barbara…if you weren’t fearful, you wouldn’t have gotten the shot. And that is your right to make that choice. You have done what you felt is right for you, please stop trying to shame people on this feed because they want to also have the right to deny it entering their bodies.
Actually it’s pretty well known that the only people are still afraid of Covid are among the vaccinated. Unvaccinated people are not afraid. Or they would’ve gotten vaccine already
Nailed it!
