  1. Aloha!
    Would it be unwise to purchase airfare for the end of November to Kauai given that the airlines are not very forthcoming with refunds? Prices are fantastic right now for Thanksgiving week.
    Mahalo!

    1. Hi Lynn.

      If the airlines are flying then, they will not need to provide refunds. We have to assume that will be the case for November. So, if you’re comfortable with that, then by all means it would be a good time to book.

  2. As much as I love and miss Maui, I am in no hurry to return to the islands or resume any kind of traveling. One suggestion though would be to limit the number of people visiting the islands by applying for a permit like to climb Mt. Everest or camp grounds.

  3. And for the people beside you! Zero privacy of any kind with this – even worse than the tiny bit we might have now.

  4. Wouldn’t clear plexiglass “pods” be intriguing? Passengers would feel like their on the Starship Enterprise or similar. I can’t wait for air travel to begin again. I miss my vacations. I miss my Hawaii.

    1. Give every passenger a personal air purifier necklace. The one that kills viruses. Wear around your neck and keeps 3 feet of space around you clean. Either charge person for it when they pay for ticket and they can keep it; or charge a rent fee and give it to them when they check in and take it back from them as they leave plane at door of plane

  5. Those contraptions will do nothing for safety. Sneezes, coughs and saliva will still travel around the cabin. The partitions will inhibit rapid evacuation in an emergency as well as add to normal loading of the plane. A better approach would be to fill a plane as usual, but have a wellness check prior to going through TSA and free ‘sick’ wavers so people don’t fly while sick because they don’t want to lose money.

  6. Horrible. Horrible. NONE of those barriers actually do NOTHING!
    to protect flyers. Vapor droplets spread in 3D! It’s not a SALAD BAR! If a passenger cough or sneezes the droplets will float over and around the divider.

  7. Right now I think trying to get it correct is very challenging as everyone is making a concerted effort to put health and safety first. I personally will feel ready to get back in the air when our healthcare system can utilize a regiment of medications as they do for so many other viral and bacterial conditions. My confidence level will overcome my apprehension. Can’t wait to get back to paradise.

  8. Ok, this made me laugh. Talk about going over board – those plastic partitions are very off-putting and, in my humble opinion, will harbor more germs than a McDonald’s Playland. Your point on the difficult and time-consuming task of disinfecting them between flights is so right! I hope the airlines can come up with something better because I don’t see people wanting to fly in plastic, humid canisters all the way to Hawaii.

    Mahalo for the updates. Stay safe.

    1. I so agree! The concept photo of the middle seat being backwards? Awkward for the people in the row behind you!

      Can’t wait to get back to the Islands.

  9. I’m more concerned about the impact on the islands’ natural state and the people who live there full time when the crowds return. Perhaps Hawai’i should take this opportunity to implement something like the plan that was put in place on North Shore Kaua’i after the road was reopened.
