I’ve booked a flight to Kona in late September. They are selling middle seats, and some are taken. What will happen to those in middle seats if social distancing is still in effect?
This is so interesting and the type of thinking that will be required for the future. It’s true that with 9/11 everything changed with air travel and security.
Maybe someone is preparing the planes for protective masks that will be issued similar to the blankets or headphones of the bygone days. In the future, you might conceivably purchase a mask specifically for flying depending on the level of desired protection.
This would make the Hawaiian flights safe without reconfiguring the seats.
I have a REME air purifier attached to my air ducts on the air conditioner, furnace vents and it kills everything, viruses too, in the house. Can’t one of these be put on the airplane system? It kills sneezes in the air on contact of the sneeze. And hand out personable air purifiers to wear around neck, like a necklace.
We are supposed to Fly DELTA first class in December?? We will see what the Future Brings? Maybe ONLY First Class seat will be able to use the Restrooms Versus the Comfort Class being able use the Fore word restrooms.One of the Reasons we switched carriers! If we are paying 3 times the Coach RATE and 2 times the Comfort rate. Not sure why All are using the For ward Restrooms? WE are hoping we will be able to TRAVEL to our HAPPY Place!
I can’t even imagine those long overnight flights back to Florida. I assume the seats wouldn’t recline either.
Those partitions will never happen….and here’s why. When the FAA certifies a type design…in this case the interior, the manufacturer has to demonstrate that the plane can be evacuated in a set amount of time. That requirement would never be possible with any of the designs you show, the shrouds block most of the row except for the seat. This is the reason there is extra leg room and no reclining seats in an exit row are for access to the emergency hatches. Another reason is, the time it would take the FAA to issue a STC (Supplemental type certificate) to even install and legally fly with the modified interior, the whole hoopla and corona drama will have come and gone.
I sure hope it doesn’t look like the photo because people are right next to each other what good is it to space between each row but still sit right next to 2 other people??
Aloha. And mahalo for a great blog. Unlike 9/11 ( terrorists don’t go away) this will be defeated by a therapeutic cure and a vaccine. Once we have that I think travel will return to normal. In the meantime masks & seating arrangements may become the new normal.
Hi Tom.
Thanks.
Aloha.
BofH – we had to cancel an Apr6trip to Kauai but did receive full refunds. I want to use Wallet money to fly in October. You’re thinking I should look to book in a couple weeks?
Thank you for all the insightful columns over the years!
Hi Michael.
We are all waiting for more clarity on resumption of anything that resembles normal air travel to Hawaii. And we expect to have some clarification in the next few weeks.
Aloha.
Drop down those oxygen masks and require constant usage. Replace each mask after usage. Portable unit for trip to restroom then replace mask.
