Masks still mandated while flying?
Re: Masks still mandated while flying?
I was thinking of booking EVA back to London. If they still have masks-on rules I won't bother. I notice the rules are in/out of TPE. My flight would be BKK-LHR, so I wonder if they would try to enforce the rule on that leg?Joakim wrote: ↑Sun Mar 12, 2023 5:21 pm When I was flying IST-TPE-PNH with Turkish/EVA in January it was mandatory with mask on both flights.
As the staff told me all flights in/out of Taiwan need mask.
Going back PNH-TPE-IST EVA/Turkish 6/3 we needed mask on EVA flight but last leg to IST not even the crew had mask.
I don't think anyone cares about night flights, the crew just wants to feed you and watch you all sleep. I doubt very much if anyone would wake up a passenger to tell them to put their mask on. But the day flights might be another matter.
Does anyone know about Thai Airways? Do they still have masks-on rules?

Ok, good to know. It sounds like it's a TPE mandate.Kammekor wrote: ↑Mon Mar 13, 2023 12:31 pmI flew Eva BKK-AMS last December and they didn't bother about masksDoc67 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 13, 2023 12:23 pmI was thinking of booking EVA back to London.

Re: Masks still mandated while flying?
I think it is. I flew China Airlines recently from Vancouver to PNH via TPE. Mask repeatedly asked to wear over PA but many, including non-whiteys ignored so I did as well. As far as I know they never asked anyone personally to mask up but it was heard over the PA at least 5 times. TPE to PNH 4 foreigners including me. 3 boarded ahead of me without one and I said fuck it and did they same. No questions asked, no mask up demands even though almost all others kept theirs on for the flight. Seems like they are beating a dead horse for reasons I cannot fathom, but perhaps have been told by upper management not to engage and just ignore it.

I flew EVA Jan-Feb VIE-BKK and back. They said at the boarding that we have to wear masks, but once we were sitting on the plane they didn't bother you (and half of the passenger didn't wear any masks).Doc67 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 13, 2023 12:23 pmI was thinking of booking EVA back to London.

I just sent you a PM but wanted to know your experience w/ China Airlines. It seems thats the most cost effective option-- by over 700 bucks!!
I always used Eva or SIngapore Airlines... but the price for both Eva and SIngapore is over 2k!! wtf
departure end of June
Manhattan keeps on making it, Brooklyn keeps on taking it
