As travellers begin to return to San Francisco International Airport (SFO), changes in the airport experience – resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic – will be immediately visible, such as mandatory facial covering, physical distancing markers, clear protective barriers and hand sanitiser stations. But another change, in the works since before the pandemic, might be less obvious: The airport’s terminals are going quiet. Under a programme known as ‘Quiet Airport’, San Francisco Airport staff have been actively working to make air travel less stressful by reducing the amount of background noise that travellers are exposed to inside the terminals. Director of San Francisco International Airport, Ivar C. Satero, said: “We’ve invested a great deal in making the airport experience at SFO more relaxing and enjoyable. Every step of our passengers’ journey, from kerbside to airplane, needs to support that effort. With our Quiet Airport programme, we’re creating something unique and unexpected

Unquestionably, the coronavirus has had a devastating impact on the airline and hotel industries, a fact that has been further evidenced in findings from SEMrush, a trends data analytic firm, which tracked Google search volume for the two travel segments. The company’s industry-wide, branded airline searches found a 17 percent decline from January through February. The hardest hit carriers were Bangkok Airways (-33 percent), China Eastern (-33 percent) and China Southern (-45 percent.) On a brighter note, searches were expected to increase on average by 16.5 percent in March, according to SEMrush. Meanwhile, airlines were extremely active on social media in February and March in order to conduct “damage control,” the company said. SEMrush also conducted a Twitter sentiment analysis to gauge reaction to each global carrier. The most tweeted airlines were, respectively, Delta Air Lines, Ryanair, EasyJet, American Airlines, British Airways, Lufthansa, Qantas, Southwest Airlines and

Heathrow Airport has taken many steps during the first six months of 2020 to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and protect passengers and staff. Results from this period have been collected and announced. Passenger numbers were down over 96 per cent in Q2 as global aviation came to a virtual standstill. It is estimated that 2020 passenger volumes will be more than 60 per cent lower than 2019 overall. Q2 revenue fell 85 per cent to £119 million and adjusted EBITDA turned to a loss of £93 million.

The airport has announced its cash reserves are sufficient until at least June 2021 with no revenue. A waiver on financial covenants until the end of 2021 has been agreed, an

Intrepid Travel is starting a new social media campaign designed to show why travel is so important to us all. The adventure travel company is asking people to write a letter to someone who made their travel experience special, whether it be “the porter who guided your every step on the Inca Trail, the homestay host who made you feel right at home, the stranger turned roommate turned lifelong friend, the travel agent who made it magically all work.” Best place to find more about airports in chernihiv is AirportList.com

Palanga Airport (PLQ) has started plans for major reconstruction work scheduled for the autumn of 2021, with the reconstruction of the airport runway and other works to be carried out, including the expansion of the taxiway and other sections of the apron.

LGBTQ customers have been frequent travelers in recent years, venturing to family-friendly reunions in Provincetown, partying in Fort Lauderdale or Madrid, cruising in Europe, or looking for the hottest new urban or beach getaway. While some are cautious travelers, especially in regions where they are less protected by the political environment, it's not a stretch to say that many of them are adventurous and open to new experiences. So, what would LGBTQ travel look like in a post-COVID-19 environment? A recent Harris Survey, conducted from May 6-8, found that LGBT respondents reported feeling more comfortable making certain clear travel choices, whether traveling or not in the near term: Traveling to a U.S. destination: 64% of LGBT people vs. 58% of non-LGBT individuals. Staying in a hotel: 59% LGBT vs. 50% of adults who are not LGBT. Staying on Airbnb: 43% LGBT vs. 35% non-LGBT adults. Commercial aircraft flying: 43 percent LGBT vs. 35 percent adult non-LGBT.

I took the opportunity to travel to Europe over the summer to see the changes that have taken place, in order to better educate my clients who are asking me if travel is possible. Overall, with the exception of masks and social distance being imposed, Europe appeared close to the old standard. The travel industry 'new digital facets' The COVID-19 pandemic has forced the industry to further concentrate on going digital beyond smartphone boarding passes and online check-in. I was able to print my baggage tag at the airport via the kiosk, then drop it off at the touch-free bag service. Therefore, for a flight with no human contact, one may simply check-in. Hotels have also been stepping up their functions for online check-in. Although not as popular as airline travel, the day before arrival, some hotel chains have the option of checking in and selecting your room through your mobile device. Hilton is a prime example. Other than checking in, the app displays options for up

In recent years, Puerto Vallarta has seen significant growth in terms of LGBTQ travelers, especially among male couples. A new generation of couples has discovered the zone, which has always been queer-friendly, searching for a simple getaway that feels a little more authentic than Cancun. Puerto Vallarta matches the mold, surrounding the big Banderas Bay with stunning lush mountains. It has also been referred to as "the Mexican San Francisco." Travel north from the airport to the "Romantic Zone" of the area, which is the de facto gay borough here. In this town, there are dozens of clubs, bars, theaters and restaurants, as well as some great clothing stores owned by LGBTQs. With an evening of all naked strippers at Anthropology Bar, you can get as wild as you like or you can keep things more on the mild side by taking in a Puerto Vallarta Gay Men's Chorus show or production such as Mamma Mia! Or Avenue Q in the cabaret lounge of ACT2PV. If you like sitting on
