Imagine the post-pandemic misery of business travel

keen to get employees back to work in order to limit the economic damage of covid-19. And some companies will also be eager to send employees out in search of clients. But a vaccine is unlikely to be ready for at least another 12 months. So the next business trip you make might be an endurance test. Imagine the public announcements that travellers will hear.. Welcome to the renamed Heathrow Waystation 5.

We won’t be able to give you our normal in-flight food and beverage service but please enjoy the complimentary bottle of water, packets of salted nuts and crisps, and the empty seat next to you. Just a warning, though, to those of you who have chosen to sit by the window. Passengers must observe distancing rules so you won’t be allowed to squeeze past the person in the aisle seat if they fall asleep. In any case, only three people are allowed in the line for the restroom at any time.

To reduce the risk to staff, the room will be cleaned only after you leave, so make your own bed. Feel free to take home the shampoo in the shower: no one else wants to touch it. The spa, pool and bar are closed for obvious reasons, and there is no room service. Enjoy your stay.

Only thing missing is the forced downloading of an App which will permanently ruin your phones battery life.

And where do I check in to get myself disinfected?

How many airlines you think are going to be left after this.

'And probably cut cost for the company by not travelling. You can have the meetings online.'

Ha Its crazy ... Will be stay at home no will fly ! Lubos

It would be super minimized. World culture is changing.

With modern technology in sure we could reduce business travel massively at least for passenger,s

Only for business travel? So I'll be okay if I'm just traveling for person reasons. Cool.

The Economist, do you know if the airlines are going to refund the money of the canceled trips? Let us know please

We have to walk through X-ray machines that costs 150,00 after 9/11. By the same logic, every airplane passenger should be screened with an instant COVID-19 test.
