What about being in a tin can in the sky with 300 strangers ?
he didnt say any of that, he had a weak arguementWhere everyone on board will be either double jabbed, or had to produce a negative PCR test before boarding....or both.
And are wearing a mask for the duration.
I'd suggest to do some research into the air circulation on a plane and how it works.
It's also quite laughable to think every plane is operating at capacity. Some will, but most won't.
Very common to have a row to yourself at the moment.
That’s not being a hypocrite - the government should not have opened indoor hospitality - OR HOLIDAY FLIGHTS - until every adult has been offered their first jab. I won’t be doing either until that is the case.I just thought he was being a hypocrite and saying going to the pub would have killed people but happy to go in a plane for hours

FT wont let me post their story howeverWell of course it’s a risk. I hate flying anyway, but I do it because it gives me amazing holidays and memories. However filter system plus everybody wearing a mask is much safer than eating/drinking packed inside with people without masks.
Going out for a drink or something to eat is not worth the risk because the rewards are so small.
You jumped in , i didnt ask for your opinion tbfWith your views on foreign travel and wanting everyone to stay at home, I'm not sure this thread is for you tbh.
Your plane argument is weak, for the reasons I stated.
FT wont let me post their story however
The school’s Aviation Public Health Initiative says that modern planes’ ventilation systems, with their high efficiency particulate air (Hepa) filters, remove more than 99.97 per cent of the nasty stuff, including bacteria and viruses. Its report, published in October, says the result is cleaner air than in our offices or shopping centres.

Nobody is instructing anyone to do anything , aside from him saying people who go to the pub are killing people and to have a long hard look at themselvesYou quoted his post where he replied to me, so it's hardly me jumping in.
I get it, you want everyone to stay put, and will ask rhetorical questions about planes to try and spin it in your favour.
But it's lazy.
I get on a plane right now; depending on the destination, I'll have to be either double vaxxed, or take a PCR test before travel, or possibly both.
In flight, I'll have to wear my mask for the duration. I'll also have to wear my mask before and after.
The above will apply to every single person sat on said plane, regardless of if its operating at 10% or 100% capacity (and many flights are closer to the former than latter these days)
I walk into a pub right now, particularly during the Euros, what am I faced with?
The same unknown people I'd be faced with on a flight, but I won't have any idea of vaccination status, if they'd been recently tested. You're also at the mercy of how strictly the pubs is enforcing the rules (not very strict at a lot of places by all accounts)
I'd likely be surrounded by many different people for many hours depending on how long I'd be there for.
And with the football being broadcast, lots of singing and shouting, with mask wearing almost non-existent because people are always drinking.
I ask you; which is a safer environment?
I can only assume that the minority of people instructing everyone to holiday at home are also instructing everyone to eat and drink at home, otherwise you'd be a massive hypocrite right?
