Climate Change and emissions top every issue as we teeter into After Ice climate change. Planting Palm trees on newly barren islands in exchange for carbon credits is Trumpian at best, retrofitting old designs with futuristic economy is like hanging engines to big to fit with predictable results. Hybrid electric, Uber Taxi Drones driven by AI. Perhaps if we were not spending a trillion dollars on new toys for the CIA & Pentagon, new 350 MPH trains could compete environmentally for continental services including freight powered by wind in Texas, Hydro Quebec in New England, and miles of solar panel lined track refilling the Lake Mead hydro pumped storage battery even as we rebuild our basic infrastructure. A radical new plane type that 'Rides the Jet stream like Eagles soaring effortlessly' when aloft, perhaps reaching high into the upper atmosphere similar to a rocket just enough fuel to get up and land, coasting like a train. What a good infrastructure project could do for the future generations, that's another video.

I amazingly eked out a trip to India in January, visiting Udaipur, Aurangabad and Mumbai; it was of the best trips I did and wow I am glad I did it! That said, I do a trip abroad about once every 2 years. Will I travel in 2022? No, I do not think so; not this decade, and probably not ever. Whole airlines will not survive this. Once the skies open up again, limited supply will mean tickets will be astronomically high (I'm talking $5, 000 RT economy to Paris being seen as a bargain. Additionally the restrictions placed on international travel will mean several regions of the world will be inaccessible to the casual traveler. Furthermore, hotels will be few and far between, which will add to the cost of a vacation greatly. I have been to 35 countries and I am afraid I might have to admit, the party is over. It was good while it lasted.

I had a return flight booked back to the UK from Australia in April, needless to say that has been cancelled, the airline have given me a credit against a new ticket bookable up to 31 December this year. I think it's going to be 12-18 months unless a vaccine comes along sooner before I'll get back. Here in Oz if you have a permit to travel domestically and cross state borders you have a 2 week quarantine in each direction, adding 4 weeks to your trip! Internationally Australia and New Zealand are talking about a travel 'bubble' across the 'ditch' as they call it! But each state would have the right to still block interstate/ intrastate movement, all states and territories have been split into regions requiring permits to cross checkpoints. Rough times for everyone

One thing I notice when flying normally is how dirty the tray table is, and the window blinds, u personally have a Holliday booked with Tui from Manchester to Las Palmas on the 6th of July until the 16th, however I believe that my Holliday will most likely be cancelled, however it is fine, as you have to think of how many people go in the aircraft you go on and how many people stay in the hotels, and even the taxis, it is a lot of people, and if just one of them had the virus your chances of getting it is substantially increased, so better safe than sorry, as no one wants to be stoop in a foreign country whilst you are ill

Nope for the time being for the simple reason social distancing means less service on planes and higher fairs because less passengers, Unless there is effective treatments/Vaccine more outbreaks will happen and has happened with reductions of lockdowns in other countries.
Don't know about you but would not want the repeat of travellers trying to rush back home or being trapped in another country under another quarantine then again back in your home country only this time it would be far worse due to reduce capacity of airplanes it is something I would not go through again for any price/holiday.

I plan on going to Hungary in the foreseeable future after restrictions lift, as my trip in March was cancelled. I'll wait until borders open and people start coming and going on a regular basis, so I can look from afar as to what the new normal will entail. Keeping my eye on Serbia, too, as they are fully open with no restrictions. I'm also interested in how / if the US / Canada border opens, as I'd love to visit the Yukon.

My next domestic is in about 2 weeks time but its an essential trip not a hoilday. But according to the Australia government by mid to late July 2020 open domestic travel and open International travel to New Zealand only in October 2020. Elsewhere is subject to other countries handle on the virus situation. Such as USA is likely to be April 2021 onwards as it depends on how contained the virus is there.

I enjoyed seeing the results of your survey! It will be interesting to see how the industry reinvents itself afterwards. I imagine there will be a big PR campaign on cleanliness of planes. The biggest barrier are government restrictions. As an expat, I can technically go home with quarantine, but can't return so I have two countries restrictions to keep in mind.

I believe international travel is my life, I also believe christmas they will fly, why is this so? Because there is surety planes are full, domestic and international, and also as you know if you leave ticket buying to the last minute it costs a lot more, wait and see, but this is a crucial time of a year to fly for all people all over the world.

Travel is being done away with, as are personal vehicles and private property, per Agenda 21. It'll never come back the way it was and They will keep chipping away at both until they're completely gone.
See Agenda 21, 2030 and 2050 on the UN's website and read Behind the Green Mask by Rosa Koire or listen to her talks.

I'd be interested in when your viewers think other countries in the world will allow travellers from the worst affected countries like the US and here in the UK to enter their countries. I was planning a trip to Asia in the Fall but I can't see Thailand allowing UK citizens in for months even with 14 day quarantine

A question you should ask is WHERE people would be comfortable traveling after lockdown is over. For example, I may be American, but I am not leaving the Middle East for North America for maybe another 6 months after lockdown goes down. However, I would be okay with going to South Korea, Australia or Singapore.

When this pandemic is over, you HAVE TO TRY QATAR AIRWAYS QSUITE ON THE A350-1000, I've been on it multiple times and it's by far the best business class seat IN THE WORLD! Also, the Al Mourjan Qatar Airways business class lounge in Doha Hamad Airport is soooo cool! I'd love to see you make a video of that!

I have a trip booked in August.
I'm already disappointed because I was to fly Delta's 777 with the new layout. Delta has changed it to the A330-300. At least I'll be flying out of Amsterdam. I'm taking my own mask and sanitary wipes and haven't cancelled yet. Just hoping no further changes come.

Once the food run out, and people start feeling hungry and their children, crying for food, lest see how many of them want those restrictions on place, every industry, that get shot down, will impact another one, it's a chain reaction, and more people will die, because of this, worse than any plague.

I've already paid for flights to the USA, I returned from LA in Feb. and booked to return. My return flights are booked in December. Fingers crossed. I think realistically I'll be returning hopefully Feb or December 2021. Depending on the restrictions

Jeb, I read the Delta MD-88s are going to be flying until the end of May. That would have been a fitting video for you to be on the last Delta MD-88 flight given the fact that you are a Delta guy. I know you did that for the last AA MD-80 flight.

I'm booked to fly from Auckland to Munich in June - the airline has not resumed the route via Middle East so I suppose it will cancel. plus Germany is in a lockdown and I will need 14 days in govt quarantine when I get back (even as a citizen.

Here is some great news! In some parts of South Dakota businesses are opening that where closed for a month or two, so I am thinking that we are on a final homestretch of being at home. Just have to keep our heads down and push through!

Flew to Jersey from Gatwick 2 weeks ago.
Safest I've felt in months. Masks everywhere.
Please can you do all the LoganAir flights around the Western and Northern islands. There are 7 separate airports on Orkney alone!

This is great! More surveys, please. I am not a statistician, but find the resulting data from your most recent survey interesting. Planning a trip from IAD to AKL in February, but not booking anything, yet.

I expect airline cleanliness will increase as well as sanitiser being given out as part of standard amenity kits.
Masks wont last once a vaccine comes out. Too many political conversations about it.

It's not how clean your airline is or how clean you are, it's can you trust the people seated next to you. I don't trust dirty humans. Coughing, sneezing snotty nose humans.

I flew on southwest from Portland to Phoenix this week on a B 737. It was so weird cause both airports were completely empty. I would fly internationally right now if I could.
