Closing line, "When this's over….."
One and One only is, over from what? When lockdown is over or when Corona is over?
Cheaper??? It’s more expensive now
I hope we can fly again very soon. This travelban is unnecessary now that everyone has social distancing and other measures in place
Whats up! we just stumbled over your amazing account and like your video clips. 👍 We are exploring often, maybe you'd also like to take a look at our Cinematic Travel Musicvideo as well 🌴 So lets inspire one another. Enjoy your amazing day, and also keep up the great work! 😊
Yes, to antarctica.
How would anyone really know the crisis is over? After this coronavirus threat and governments and media around the world scrambling to save the economy and willing to sacrifice people like me, I don't trust the government or media anymore. Probably, millions of people feel the same.
usa is really crazy when it comes to business, even the usa media too..who will talk about travel during pandemic…is it sane or just materialistic life…
Well I will be flying back home to CA from TN in 2 days.. We booked our tickets before all of this BS and when we flew out on the 18th there were maybe 60 passengers total in our flight and airport was dead. Will be interested to see what its like now 2 weeks later. Things werent all shut down then..
Useless video just stay the f. Home !
I'm sorry, in a time when some people are trying to adhere to suggested guidelines by the government and smart scientists, I think it is incredibly stupid to be unnecessarily travelling at this time. And if you continue to keep flying and cruising after all that has happened, maybe you deserve what you get, to bad your children have to suffer your ignorance.
I’m an American expat living in Europe now (Sweden) and I am not seeing any of these great travel deals like is shown in this vid! Flights are only slightly cheaper and hotel prices are the same as always. Plus most European airlines are not being very generous as far as cancellations and rebookings go. KLM, for example, will only let you cancel or rebook without a fee through May 31.
Boston to Orlando $41?!?! 👀👀👀
Uh. No. You shouldn't book. Are you nuts?
I’ll save you 3 minutes: no.
For people trying to make it back home to their countries flights can be much more expensive. Anyone traveling for pleasure now is insane.

How do airlines even make money out of that?
DO NOT TRAVEL!!
Save $50, get free 14-days quarantine
Yes buy a ticket now for future flight for cheap. Plan your next summer now.
Happened in Taiwan. Idiots went travelling due to cheap flights and came back with covid 19. Guess what? The gov tested them and then gave them bills to pay for the testing and then additional medical costs. The rest of Taiwan has free health care while those idiots dont. 😂
Thank you for posting this Scott, I know you didn't have to go so in-depth. This is beneficial and exactly what I needed to know.
USA/Canada Border https://windsorstar.com/news/local-news/jarvis-border-a-potential-vector-for-disease-transmission/wcm/f7e8cdfb-aa4f-42db-98af-24d4d4d30c8d/
No travel Ban in Canada ,Airports are busy but no one is tested for Coving-19 and that's a huge concern with spread,14 days quarantine won't do much if they are infected already and stay with families in the same house – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tj4tKqwc48k&t=17s
Never, ever, ever get on another cruise ship. Floating disease factories.
3:33 Even the airplane is clowning. Don't travel until there have been 2 weeks of 0 new cases… that will probably take years, so don't travel, it's what got us into this mess.
Does our grand father have kept enough saving to deal with corona ?
America First！
America is the real sick man of the world!
You can travel if your life is cheap
who is in the mood to travel now? they're not going to have this under control until at least 2021. if you're going to travel now where is there to go? everything is shut down everywhere. tourism and business travel is dead. the airlines might as well shut down except for cargo.
Well depends, how cheap?
Cheap with a bonus of virus
you sure? See outbreaks everywhere. Don’t mislead people just by couple of dollars discount. You are killing. Cheap
And the cruise ships…you know they dump their waste in the ocean….every cruise ship has dumped this virus into the oceans.
ARE YOU ALL INSANE? Every plane should be burned to the ground, their filthy Petri dishes.
Promoting people to travel now? Are you trying to say this virus is not spreading quickly enough in the US and you would like to see it spread faster?
About to take off as we speak!!!’
WHY IS THIS EVEN RECOMMENDED. WALL STREET JOURNAL ARE YOU ALRIGHT? THE ANSWER IS NO.
A travel with no return. Oh ohh
If I die I die ✊🏻
Booked round trip flights to Hawaii, Paris and Belize in June-August from Dallas for $920. This pandemic is giving me a new opportunity to travel for really cheap!!!!
It cheap otherwise they won’t survive to continue.
coughs no coughs
NO! Cathay Pacific charged cancellations and rebooking fees on me 3 weeks ago. Pathetic!
