India Trip with kids _ During Covid_ Safe or not?

[no01]

had it been casual vacays visiting Hawaii, Cancun, Europe etc etc then better to wait for few more months.

I have seen a good number of kids travel along with me when I visited India 2-3 months back. But if it not an emergency, don’t travel. If you have to, it is fine just be extra careful.

Also I'm flexible on dates, May June or July kooda ok naaku. eppudu cheap tickets dorkithey appudu (this scenario is for business class only).

Please share your experiences and suggestions / advices. Thank you all in advance.

Chill kaka, economy Lo fly aina business  class la fly aina, imagine you would be spending close to 18-20 hours in a compressed giant metal tube at 35,000 feet...and  what difference that would make if it’s business or economy unless you want to wear a vaccum space suit and sit ..

You have lot more to gain than to loose, memories..kushiyan..pilllal, parents, celebrations, etc..absolutely worth the risk..!

@JANASENA if you are flying from west coast, check out singapore airlines a350...they have premium economy class which Isint too expensive..

Emirates plan to launch premium economy soon, might fly from Miami mid this year

If you are certain you won’t jeopardize your parents health you can go. I hope they will be vaccinated by then.

@stag  bro is this mandatory for kids to keep mask throughout the plane? maa vaadu asle penki

Now a days, almost all countries are now mandating negative test report before they allow you to board and this may become a norm by mid of the year, you can expect airlines to do test at the airport itself...you know, things improve as time passes by..! 
 

Negative test tarvata, if 300 people get on board the air craft, whom are we protecting ourselves from by wearing a mask for 18 hours ?

Lot more precautionary measures will be place by the time you plan to fly to India...anavasaranga bhayapadi life moments ni waste chesukoku bedaru...

nope not mandatory.. just flight ekketappudu matram mask and face shield mandatory for adults.. mask for kids recommended but not enforced..

once flight ekkinaka ma odu thisi padesadu mask.. memu eskunnam as much as possible.. but in such long flights, you need to take them off once in a while.. atleast while eating.. so I guess its ok.

PS: this is just my experience. not the actual rule
