Blackduck59 Posted June 14, 2020 #3 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Interesting wording "suggested" passengers wear masks for "extra peace of mind", this implies the mask is optional. I would not like the mask but would wear it if required. I use a CPAP machine and would have that mask on when I'm sleeping anyway. (Hopefully much of the flight) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted June 16, 2020 #8 Share Posted June 16, 2020 #4 would be a deal breaker for me, especially if it means no handbag. Us ladies rarely have pockets in clothing to put things in so where do we put our boarding passes, phones, etc? No Kindle or noise-cancelling headphones? And no way am I going to put valuables and medications in checked luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also need glasses (spectacles, the not drinking kind) if I want to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily I have panoramic multifocals which are great for reading as well as distance vision, so my glasses are always on my nose. They are also transitional lenses so I don't need to carry sunglasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikeanswers Posted June 16, 2020 Author #11 Share Posted June 16, 2020 If they want us to have no hand luggage they better tightened security with luggage handling. I know too many people who put laptops, tablets, lens and cameras in their check in luggage only to find them not there at their destination😱 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted June 16, 2020 #12 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I wonder why hand luggage wold be an issue, no one else should be touching it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multiple people touching the overhead compartment to add/remove things, then people shuffle things around to make space, then touch others as they grab something mid flight. There's no way to prevent against that which is the transmission vector for the virus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
