Aloha Guys!
It seems to me that, if they push these kind of upgrades/solutions, it will come at a cost, eventually being passed on to consumers. What do you think?
Doesn’t the majority of planes in operation have hepa filtration systems that recirculate air every 20-30 minutes? My understanding is that they are comparable to hospital systems?
It seems a bit compulsive to push these kind of changes right now, especially because it’s not reasonable to expect everyone to social distance on an airplane at all, let alone for a prolonged time period, or permanently.
Wouldn’t creating and distributing comfortable masks for the immunocompromised or those that feel the need to wear them, as well as providing sanitary needs, be a far better solutiom for short term (possibly long-term) safety? You are not going to create a fool-proof way to protect people, and these seem to be very expensive solutions.
I personally don’t believe this will be necessary, when the hindsight analysis of this disease is evaluated. I am not convinced it is as deadly as originally predicted, even though it may be more contagious than most viruses. We will definitely see, as more data is revealed…
Thanks for the information. It’s interesting to see these wild ideas.
Hi Jim.
Thanks again for all your comments.
Yes we’d concur that there are more questions than answers all around this subject, especially it seems as relates to air travel. Funny photos in the news the past couple of days of people crowded into planes over the weekend. Many with no masks. It is going to all be fascinating for sure and we retain a high degree of optimism as well.
Aloha.
If we had a quick test and the logistics to do it, people could get tested at the airport immediately before they leave. The price of the test would be added to the ticket. Nothing is simple at this point. But we just can’t have visitors going to Hawaii sick and have a Tsunami wave hit Hawaii we are very few people have immunity.
Dear Beat of Hawaii – I just rebooked a cancelled April trip to Kauai for October/November. I bought Super Saver tickets on Alaska (their website says change and cancellation fees are waived even for SS fares). Surprisingly, I was also able to select seats, window and aisle, with the middle seat X’d out. There were about 14 SS seats on the Seattle to Lihue flight to choose from. I’m very happy with this arrangement. Thanks again for your excellent articles!
Hi Michael.
Thank you!
Aloha.
Dear B of H – I just used my Alaska Airlines Wallet money from the cancelled April trip to book in late October, early November. Even though I bought the Super Saver fare, I was able to book seats – window and aisle with the middle seat X’d out. There were about 14 SS seats available on the Seattle to Lihue flight. I’m very happy! Thanks for your great articles!

You do great job. As a Kaua’i resident it is reassuring to have knowledgeable info Mahalo
Hi Conrad.
Thank you!
Aloha.
How about staggering the seats so no two guests are in the same row regardless of the middle seat? Since seats are attached to the floor this could be easily accomplished.
