The Future of Air Travel

Not an encouraging article.

Some of this is understandable.  Some of this seems way, WAAAAAY overkill.


Future Air Travel: Four-Hour Process, Self Check-In, Disinfection, Immunity Passes

Some of the "highlights" from this article:

* Process of checking in for flights:  it could take up to 4 hours and involve social distancing, sanitation of passengers and luggage, wider spaces for various lines and waiting to board.

* Slower turnarounds between flights due to the need of thorough cleaning of cabins and following of sanitary measures at airports.

* Possibilities:  no cabin bags, no lounges, no automatic upgrades, face masks, surgical gloves, self-check-in, self-bag-drop-off, immunity passports, on-the-spot blood tests and sanitation disinfection tunnels

* Need to reduce “touchpoints” at airports implies mandatory use of biometric boarding that allows passengers to board planes with only their face as a passport

* Stopping non-fliers from entering the airport at all -- except for unaccompanied minors or others who need assistance


That's just some of what's mentioned.

I do not fly much, but when I do, I enjoy the whole airport experience.  #StupidCorona is most definitely going to kill some of that for me.
