THE RISE OF
SANITISED
TRAVEL
THE DAY OF THE LIFE OF AN AIRLINE PASSENGER
APRIL 2020
Welcome to the age of
sanitised travel
Air travel will never be the same after the advent of the COVID-19 outbreak. Just like
how travellers would not have stepped on-board an airplane after 9/11 unless they
were assured that there were no weapons on-board, they will not travel unless
assurance is provided that there are no viruses on board.
SimpliFlying mapped out over 70 areas on the day of travel that would change due to
new demands of the travellers. This PDF summarizes the key stages of travel and how
each stage will change. Welcome to the age of post-corona travel. The age of
sanitised travel.
We have seen airlines like Emirates employ crew who specifically keep their in-flight showers
aboard the First Class sparkly clean. Passengers also need to book a time upon take off for
their shower.
Similar measures may be taken across all classes, especially by legacy airlines, such that the
in-flight janitor can clean surfaces and lavatories at regular intervals. A realtime cleaning
log can be made available to passengers via an app to boost confidence. Don’t be surprised if
you are asked to rate the cleanliness of the cabin every a few times during the flight.
