General Info

Being in France, I confirm that ALL transit and arrival passengers have a mandatory 14 days clinical stay in quarantined quarter.

Unless your holiday exceeds way beyond 14 days, try avoiding China right now, be it HK China, mainland China or even Taiwan China.

Unless you have too much retirement time on your hands to burn.

[QUOTE=CenTexCrash;2419868]Cebu Pacific pulled the rug x 2. I was about to rebook from cancelled Sunday night to early Monday morning. Cebu suspended ALL flights to Hong Kong.

My other leg I'm counting on, Emirates officially about 16 hours ago suspended flights to Gangzhou 55 miles north of HK then turn around and tell me HK is fine.

Facebook users telling me how is HK fine when they still have inbound flights from Wuhan?

Hoping tomorrow morning Emirates comes to their senses. In mean time think I'll book a $65 one way to Singapore just to put something on paper.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=VictorHugo99;2420159]Unless your holiday exceeds way beyond 14 days, try avoiding China right now, be it HK China, mainland China or even Taiwan China.[/QUOTE]As of last 48 hours, British Airways, Delta, American, and now United have suspended service to Hong Kong. Cathay Pacific has scaled back.

Casinos and schools and ferry services have been locked down.

Emirates still sees no (dire) issue.

Emirates also has the audacity to ask Beijing outbound passengers to report to Beijing PEK departures check in 8 hours in advance.

Refunded my CRK-HKG ticket, pre-emptively bought a JetStar CRK-SIN ticket.

Gambling either Emirates will soon cave and alter my flight out of SIN vs HKG or I get to spend $$$ on another flight to HKG.

Transiting Dubai, Athens, Heathrow, before touching down in Houston. Monger opp in Athens but that's an afterthought at the moment.

[QUOTE=VictorHugo99;2420159] mainland China or even Taiwan China[/QUOTE]JFC. Taiwan is Taiwan and not fing Taiwan China.

I am still in Palawan, my return flight to France is planned for the 14 of Feb, from Manila to HKG with Cathay, then HKG to Zurich with Swiss and then swiss again to France.

Either Cathay and swiss still use HKG as connecting hub at least.

For the moment I can't change nothing.

For the moment I can't change nothing.[/QUOTE]For next week, United changed my Cathay flight via Hong Kong, instead routing the Manila return through Narita on ANA — at no expense. The other Star Alliance carriers are likely to fall into line. Interestingly, there were a lot of empty seats: I even got the upgrade without being waitlisted.

I'm getting worried that the coronavirus scare might expand to impact flights to / from countries other than China. Keeping my fingers crossed.

HKG for them is still under operations.

RG.[/QUOTE]I am planing to travel during the last week of March as well. Aren't you worried about coronovirus? Not just flight delays. I am just curious and should I worry about coronovirus or not while planning for a trip.

It seems that it is possible still travel to infected countries, by accepting these conditions:

1) washing hands constantly.

2) not shaking hands or doing regular greeting habits (if not hand wash immediate after each greeting).

3) accepting a 14 day Leave of absence in medical quarantine upon return to originating country.

4) providing a list (traceable) of persons with contact in foreign country.

For these reasons, I would prefer not to travel for work now, since it will be impossible to enjoy our hobby under these conditions.

By then we will know if the world is coming to an end or not.

If you are any bit worried about coronavirus then it is best to cancel any plans. I don't see how anyone worried would be able to maintain a hardon even with vitamin V or see.

If you do not hear back from me before your trip, you will know that the virus caught up with me and I am no longer.

I figure the chances of contracting that disease are about the same as staying in the US. There hasn't been much of an impact on either the Philippines or Japan, so I'm not worried. I'll be extra careful, however, about washing my hands frequently and using hand sanitizer. I'm more worried about riding in Philippine taxis. LOL.

About laying over thru main land China, Hong Kong and Macau. Immigration will not let you in. I am more worried about getting mug by street kids while walking around Manila.
