Our lives have changed a lot since the pandemic started. Even after so many months all of us are still afraid of the infection and don’t see all this coming to an end anytime soon. Traveling to some other place has been an issue of major concern. In this blog, Rubina Ratnakar talks about things we should know about and keep in mind while taking a flight in the pandemic.
The first thing to be done before booking a flight is to research properly about the place we are going to, all the norms that need to be followed, and what documents do you need along with your passport while traveling. Make sure you don’t miss and health notice or new notification about the country you are visiting. Carry your travel insurance with you.
You should be prepared for any kind of delay in the flight. Due to the pandemic, many flights and routes of airlines have been canceled and it may be chaos at the airport as well. So pack an extra pair of clothes and pack all your medicine to be ready to cope up with any situation.
Do get in contact with a travel agent or any person who is familiar with the situations and procedures before booking a flight.
Proper vaccination and health check-up should be done before traveling. If you are not feeling well in any way, or have any of the symptoms, avoid traveling. Safety is of utmost importance whether it is yours or of your fellow passengers.
To fly safely, you can upgrade your flight. For example, if your budget allows, buy a business class ticket as they are less occupied. The risk of catching an infection would be comparatively less.
While you are on the flight, avoid all unnecessary movements, and try not to touch your surroundings. Keep on sanitizing your hands to ensure safety. Follow the social distancing norms. You can refer to this complete guide on what to do before boarding a plane.
