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

Let’s start with the entire process of checking in for flights, which some calculate that it could take up to four hours and involving social distancing, sanitation of passengers and luggage, wider spaces for various lines and waiting to board.
What You Can Expect
Among the steps under consideration: 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.
Digital technologies and automation will play a critical role in the future of air travel. The 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.

Yeah, talk about putting a nail in their coffin... go with these draconian measures and many will choose not to fly even though they have no fear of the virus.

Absolutely insane

This is ridiculous.
At some point we have to take the risk of actually living.

No cabin bags makes 0 sense either. If they are sanitizing the planes as they claim, whatever you bring on doesn’t matter anymore than your body being on board.

frick em, then most people just won’t fly. Let’s see how it hurts those states and countries that need tourism. If I can’t/won’t drive there then I just won’t go as most people will do as well. That’s just insane.

Under this model, all the airlines would become low cost carriers.
There’s no way to compete on comfort, amenities, or service.

But would need to charge more to still turn a profit with fewer people flying. Spirit type flights at American/United prices

Which in turn will discourage customers.
Not good.

Very much so... Your regular customers, especially business ones are going to say F you.
Hours to get through security, can't take carry ons for day trips or single night, no lounges... Business customers will say its not worth it and stick to virtual.

This all sounds crazy. There’s no way airlines would go through all of these new regulations if they’re looking at attracting and retaining their business and customers.

They will do this because they have no fear of losing money.
They know they will get a multimillion dollar taxpayer funded bailout.
Anyone who actually flies under these new rules is just bonus money for the airline CEOs

Boeing CEO was quoted as saying on the news last night that there will be at least one major airline carrier that would be going out of business

If any of the big 4, it would be AA
SW and Delta are in strong positions, UA could file bankruptcy, but no way they are going away.

Wait until there’s a TSA premium package to pay to get through the long lines like Clear
