United Airlines Will Resume Additional International Flights In May

Yeah sure, let's load the planes with asymptomatic spreaders and just keep the good times rolling. I cancelled our flight to LIH the moment they determined that asymptomatic spread was possible.

As someone who lived on UAL planes for 16 years (130 flights/yr) I've resigned myself to no flights for at least a year. Also no restaurants, no concerts, no CO Rockies games. I'm not risking my life for a few $$.

No vaccine. No therapeutics. No testing. Vegas has better odds.

CARGO...As for paying passengers, no one knows I don't think at this early point.

A lot of South American countries are still trending UP in Covid 19 cases. Not sure that's a good location to try and send planes. Better luck would be Australia and New Zealand if they open their airspace. They're way down on cases.

it is understanable ual would want to get up and going as soon as possible..however,i feel extreme caution is advised..the article says if they find it to be a problem once again, they will once again suspend service..it remains to be seen..

Hay que empezar a reabrir rutas. La pandemia matará mucha gente,pero el hambre si no se reinicia el comercio matará más personas

Costa Rica has done a very good job of managing their COVID19 outbreak. Total infections under 700, 4 fatalities. But bringing hoards of tourists, bored teenagers and airline personnel into the fragile, small ecosystem would be disastrous until there is a vaccine or treatment.

What country would welcome a plane load of passengers from KEWR?

I think that resuming international passenger flights at this time might be a bit too soon. Cargo flights should be OK, IMHO.

;I would like to know what the reasoning is here by united execs as to this. What load factors do they anticipate here? Bet the flight will smell of disinfectant, so nose plugs may be in fashion, and masks for all, and gowned and gloved cabin crew. Bagged meals, bottled drinks, just to name a few amenities.

But what are their current load factors? And who tests and enforces quarantine orders on people coming here. South Korea has done a massive job of containing the virus. If you fly into their, and live their, you are tested twice, scanned, and put in a private cab, driven to your home, and, in some cases, left with a monitor to track your movements, and someone stops by a day or two later to see if you need anything. You are not to leave your house for 2 solid weeks, and they test you, and check up on if you are staying home.

Here? You struggle in a mass of others trying to get off the plane, are not tested, swim through people getting your baggage, ride in a filthy cab, or your own car, and once you leave the airport, no one cares where you go, or for how long. This country has so screwed up the response to this virus pandemic, it's a laughing stock, but the numbers of dead are incredible, and the attitudes of the leaders and some major media companies is that more people dying is great, as long as their investments are good. If ought to be criminal. Crimes against humanity they are. Dr. Phil? Dr. Oz? Neither are trained virologists and yet they are trotted out by lying liars to stoke the idea that dying is good. That risking your life is good. That dying for a country that has done nothing to properly mange this is expected. It's beyond sad.

Flying Monday without hesitation, planes are empty my flight has 7 PX and connection has 3

Six months ago booked United flight to Dublin. Anyway its still on. They even sent new flight info- have me going to London now first. No way am taking the flight of course will cancel but waiting a few more weeks cause dont want a credit want a refund if possible.

They will release their new May schedule tomorrow.

Unwise and selfish decision to say the least!

United Airlines has a bad CEO who took 1.37 million a year in pay and terrible management very selfish they took the tax payers 25 billion stimulus money They should have given back there money he should only get 100,000 a year.No body is going to fly them in May.Most of those countrys are closed and nobody is going to get in a metal tube and sit in close proximity for along long time.Especialy an airline that beats up doctors and kills puppy dogs.United should have gone out of buisness back in 2005.
