• Eighteen year old next door, just back from Greece on 26th. Her and the rest of the 6 person group all tested positive. Whats to bet the rest of the flight? Up north in Leeds, not the Cardiff one

    I know that China and Singapore have been keeping close tabs on Covid transmission on flights and on the face of it the risk of catching it is fairly low if everybody is wearing a mask and behaving. From memory one example was a long haul flight of 200 people with 11 infectious people on board...not one other passenger contracted Covid when tested over the following days/weeks.

    There's a lot of ifs and buts there. Certainly sounds like the Cardiff flight wasn't taking the rules seriously. When we flew a few weeks ago, the outbound flight was busy but everybody kept their masks on and heads down. The return flight was carnage...kids and their parents running up and down the aisles, masks on chins, occasionally literally coughing on people. The BA crew continually instructed people to sit down and put their masks on but ultimately there's not much they can do to force people to comply. Felt a bit sorry for them...a difficult job in difficult circumstances.
