One of the largest airlines in the world according to the fleet size, several destinations covered and passengers carried is Alaska Airlines. This American Airline is headquartered in Washington. The airline was started on June 06, 1944, and has been in the game since then.
The world went through a pandemic recently, which has changed the way we live, the way we communicate, the way we travel and so many other things.
Some of the guidelines to follow to be safe and secure are:-
Health
All the passengers are required to go through health checkups and provide physical reports at the airport before check-in. If a passenger does not carry a check-up report, he/ she will not be allowed to board the flight.
Safety kit
As COVID spreads through transmission, the passengers are required to wear a mask at all points of time. They are also required to wear a face shield, gloves, and a PPE kit for the safety of others as well as themselves.
Digital Check-in
With the transmission and scare of COVID spreading widely, the check-in will happen digitally where a passenger first has to show their ticket through the glass to an authority. Then, they will be required to get a boarding pass digitally without getting in contact with anyone.
In-Flight Services
The food service in-flight has changed due to the pandemic. If a flight is flying within a distance of 350 miles from the source, the passenger will not be provided with any food or water. However, the passengers are now allowed to pack their food and water and get in for their journey.
For flights that fly more than 350 miles, the passengers will be able to avail of limited services that depend upon the cabin crew. Any which ways, the passengers are requested to get their food and water.
Safety
Passengers who have been seeing symptoms or have come in contact with anyone positive of COVID 72 hours before their flight, will not be allowed to fly regardless of their report. This is to ensure the safety of other passengers as well as everyone traveling on the same flight.
Cleaning
The flights get cleaned and sanitized before and after every trip. This helps us ensure that the passengers are safe and there are no chances of spreading the coronavirus from our end.
In-Flight Safety
Even though you are safely on the flight and in your seat, you are not allowed to remove your mask, face shield, gloves, and the PPE kit. You can remove your mask when you want to eat something but at all other times, you are required to wear your safety kit for the security of everyone around you.
