PANDEMIC TRAVEL- my travel.

Travelling in this pandemic has become a dangerous word. Specially the place I am from it is a huge thing to travel yet. Taking a short travel was also a huge and a stressful thing.

I wanted to share this with you because as i was stressed for around a week before traveling, I dont want you or anyone to be stressed for no reason. Stay calm and take proper measure you will be fine.

MY TRAVEL.

I don't always travel But when I do it's during a pandem - Meme ...

We had to travel from one state to the other in the same country by a aeroplane ( specifying it because people travel through road too).

More than packing or anything we were just tensed about how to not get infected as a toddler was travelling with us to. Stressing out for 2-3 weeks and no sleep we still manged to get through.

We received our tickets and group of instructions to be followed.

So after reading these norms you stress again.

Before 24 hours you need to web- check in and you get your boarding passes.

We were ready with our mask and gloves and sanitiser and was pretty scared with a hope that this should end pretty fast.

IN AIRPORT.

Before entering the airport on the gate they check your temperature and we have to have an app on our phone saying we are safe.
Then, they check your ids and you have to put your mask down to see you are you and not me.
It was the normal procedure then, just the baggage claim but just the difference was we all had to social distance ourselves.

It was all the same procedures then, just mask and gloves and social distancing wasn’t.
There were sanitisers stand everywhere.
In the waiting area, from 3 seats the 2nd seat was sealed due to social distancing.

Waiting for 2 hours, we were standing in a line for entering the bus that takes us to the flight.
We were given a kit that had a mask, face shield that we had to put on before entering the flight and sanitiser sashes.
In the bus there wasn’t much of social distancing but it wasn’t that crowded too.

IN- THE- FLIGHT.

Entering they just give you a water bottle in your hand and just take your seats.
It used to be so good when they would greet us, it was nothing. Because it is corona virus
The flight wasnt that crowded, mostly people were sitting alone so it was all ok.
NOW, it was pretty hard to breathe and sleep and being hungry for around 6 hours was actually tough

The take off and landing was exactly as dreadful as it is always for me.

(Sitting in the flight I always remember the famous plane crashes and it kills me inside.)

Due to the mask and the face shield it becomes very difficult to breathe in the flight and it just suffocates you.
There were norms in flight like, not talking to anyone, not using the washroom much.

We had a halt for one hour, we just had to sit in our places and the engine was off. That time it was totally impossible to breathe and it was very suffocating. People did take their mask off at that time i could just remove my face shield that was the courage I had.

And then we had a safe landing and we are alive!!!!!!

POST TRAVEL

We were informed earlier by family that they will quarantine you for 14 days but its still better than living in an epicentre.

Getting our luggage going towards the gate there was a doctor sitting there they would check our temperature and fill a form and take our details.

Meeting our parents we definitely couldn’t hug or greet them it was just a hi!

Panicking for the next 14 days that we dont get the virus.

Now the virus is curable, its just very contagious. Coming towards our parents we were pretty scared for them but they were the one who told us to take the risk as it was worst where we were. Just people wont come near us and a strange look always, which is fair enough.

The next day there was a paper stuck to our gate saying this house is quarantined.

Exactly today 14 days of my quarantine is over and we are fine. It is a situation to stress right now to travel but this can be forever, we dont know when is the right time to have that travel back but we need to move on. Situations can worsen but we need to move.Just take the proper precautions and dont panic.
