Is it safe to travel by plane during the pandemic?
If you are in doubt whether it is safe to travel by plane during the pandemic, know that this is one of the most suitable means of transportation to protect yourself from coronavirus. This is because the aircraft have a forced cooling system, which changes air every three minutes
.
The air circulation also passes through the HEPA filter, which removes 99.97% of virus particles and microorganisms from the air. In other words, coronaviruses have less than 1% chances of remaining airborne. Despite this mechanism, the use of a mask and other preventive measures are rules for traveling by plane in the pandemic, considered indispensable.
How to prepare for a safe shipment
If you are going to travel by plane during the pandemic, it is important to be aware of the coronavirus prevention procedures applied at airports. Because they help with protection, some of them are mandatory for boarding. Check out which ones they are below.
On-line check-in
Aiming at social distancing and the low movement of people in the same environment, airlines offer passengers the option of checking in online.
To do so, simply inform your airline in advance about the stipulated deadline and on which platform to carry out the procedure. This is a good practice to reduce the risks of traveling by plane during the pandemic.
Use of a protective mask
The use of a protective mask became mandatory in 2020. However, this year, airlines started to adopt specific rules for this. Passengers must board with PFF2, surgical or fabric masks with a triple layer of protection
.
When traveling by plane during the pandemic, it is not possible to board only with a face shield, masks that have a respirator or other elements covering the face, such as headbands and scarves.
If you need to board with an elderly person, remember to check with the travel agency if the elderly can travel by plane during the pandemic.
Sanitize your hands constantly
Upon arrival at the airport, it is very important to clean your hands with soap or alcohol gel after touching the surfaces. This is yet another way to take a safe trip and protect yourself.
COVID-19 exam
The test to diagnose COVID-19 is one of the requirements for traveling by plane during the pandemic to some destinations, especially international ones. Therefore, it is worth informing yourself beforehand if the place you are going to visit requires the result of the procedure.
Choose a safe destination
Sothat you can travel more safely during the pandemic, the ideal is to choose destinations that apply measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus. For these places, the Ministry of Tourism offers the Responsible Tourism Seal, which certifies that the establishment applies all necessary measures to protect visitors
.
Therefore, when choosing your accommodation, it is very worth checking if the establishment is certified. This way, you can enjoy the ride more safely
