Update: Coronavirus situation

The travel world is facing a global crisis  and challenge unlike any other lived until today, with the outbreak of the Coronavirus. Planet Airlines would like to reach to all users and customers who been involved in the travel difficulties and express their deep sympathy with passengers who are stuck out of home and trying to come back home, and remain in quarantine. 

The pandemic, has now caused Europe to be the epicentre of the current crisis. We know flight deals won't be at the front and centre of your mind right now, but the only certainty of this pandemic is that it will be over at some point. As such, we at Planet Airlines have established what we will do in the coming months and things you should be aware of when considering flights.

During this period, we won't be publishing any flight deals nor travel guides. However, we will work on the website and bring you a fresh layout and more user interactive experience. We will be working at home and upgrade the website for you in the coming months with better features and a more modern look. Also, below you will find a map developed by the Johns Hopkins University  which displays the cases of Coronavirus around the world, with the active cases and those died and recovered. Only when the number of people recovered are equal or slightly below the total number of infections minus the dead, we can know the crisis is finally over. Please refer to the map as a guideline, a fact that this pandemic is serious and that staying at home and not travelling now is the best way to beat it!

Demand for airlines has already reduced drastically, and so have their prices. You may not want to, nor be able to travel in the immediate future. Still, you might be able to take advantage of some rock, bottom prices,  as long as you take the necessary precautions before purchasing. Read on for more information.

*Airlines may now cancel more tickets and change schedules. (you will be always entitled to a refund or change of date)

*Airlines may now offer free date change without penalty. Only difference is the fare paid.

*If you are stuck and can't get home? Contact the airline you booked with to request a suitable return based on their restructuring plan and reduced amount of flights. Also contact your EMBASSY for special repatriation arrangements if all fails. 

*Important to take out travel insurance now! (as the situation is going to prolong during the next months around the world!)

*Avoid any non-essential travel by air, land and sea. 

*We encourage all users to stay home, to only go out individually to buy food, not to overbuy to give the opportunity for everyone to eat. Food is not in short supply. 

*Stay away from all social events, self-isolate wherever you are in the world and work from home if you can.

*Avoid touching public surfaces where virus has more chances of living longer. (metal, plastic etc...)

The most important thing is to stay home now and wait for this crisis to pass and let the authorities take out their work to protect their populations.
Once this crisis passes, we will be stronger, with more desire to travel and live our lives to the fullest! 
Patiente, we will get over this!
