3 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU TRAVEL




“I’m a peacock, you gotta let me fly!” - Mark Wahlberg on The Other Guys 


Let’s be honest, 2020 is the boss fight of 21st century. Coronavirus exploded from faint whispers to breaking news in a flash, now they’re a hop and a skip away from your doorstep.  


The world came to a halt. The global economy that relied heavily on freedom of movement stopped on its track. If the earth is flat, then why do the stocks keep going downhill?  


The aviation industry was the first to be grounded. As travelers decline the media circled airliners as they seal their fates. 


After an eternity of involuntary homebound, optimism shows sign of taking flight. Travel bans are gradually lifted and people are excited to fly once more.  


But even with a looser grip especially on domestic travels, COVID-19 still poses a huge health threat to aspiring flyers, and they have every reason to be.  


But worry not, T-mates! The tourism industry is calling you, Ticket.com know just the right spots to scratch your itch for adventure.  


Just to give you an idea of what to expect, here are some heads up for you. We’ve compiled a list of Encouraging Thoughts to help you gauge your confidence level before booking your next flight. 


  1. 1. The risk of infection is lower onboard an aircraft than grocery shopping 


There’s a takeaway though! While scientists at the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health claimed a significantly lower transmission rate, it is only possible because passengers are encouraged to follow preventive measures.  


So, wear your masks. Be a hero.  


  1. 2. Everybody is one-upping each other to keep YOU alive 


Some airliners are taking it to the next level to keep you safe while you travel, such as skipping snacks and not serving any kind of beverages whatsoever. Modern commercial airliners have spic-and-span cabin air. Their engineers accomplish this by the way they build their air intake system. In essence, outside air that passes through the jet engine is pressurized and heated so that each bacteria and viruses were burnt to a crisp in the process.  


In addition, newer generation aircraft cabins offer enhanced protection for filtrating and removing infectious particles. The air entering the plane are recycled through HEPA filters that are used in operating rooms. They can fish out small particles just as efficient as what an N95 respirator mask can do.  


Now that’s a cabin 10 out of 10 doctors would recommend!
