When Can You Expect Cheap International Tickets?



For those who loved traveling to different lands for acquainting with the cultures of people, this is a rude shock that international travel has been discontinued globally. As the curse of Corona virus spreading to almost all countries of the world and most of the nations imposing lockdowns and grounding airplanes, international travel has been completely suspended. International flights were the first to be suspended so that the virus does not enter the country from offshore destinations. Later on, when it began to be spread domestically, even the domestic flights were shut. With many of these nations having passed the peak of the pandemic after witnessing heavy fatalities and huge stress on public healthcare systems, the domestic aviation sectors are slowly being opened up. But, the larger question which remains is what will happen to the international travel? When will the cheap international tickets be sold again?
Well, this might sound a bit heartbreaking but is a fact that this is not going to happen any time soon. Since cautious steps are being taken to open domestic aviation, it would be far-fetched to think about opening of international aviation at this stage. It is only when the ground report related to the spread of disease in a particular city and country is considered to be safe that this proposal will even be considered. There is no doubt that both business and leisure air travel has suffered. International business travelers will be flying only when it is absolutely necessary for them to do so. So, it will be a miniscule percentage of what it used to be. Similarly, leisure travel will be restricted only to rich people who can still afford to pay for a great vacation and have the mood of enjoyment all through when Covid fear is still there.
However, when the passengers be habitual of changed ways of flying and feel safe with the safety measures in place by airline and airport authorities, the resumption of selected international flights would be considered by the governments. Since international travel is to be happen by way of mutual understanding among countries, the risk of spreading the virus once again will prevent countries from resuming even limited international air operations.
