Full flight leaves Vancouver and Calgary bound for Hawaii despite new rules.
Upon arrival the passengers are free to roam, having proven before departure that they do not have COVID-19.
Another plane full of Canadians has departed Vancouver and Calgary bound for Hawaii, despite a new law that will add $2,000 to each passenger’s vacation.
According to the Government of Hawaii’s
COVID-19 travel data portal, 114 passengers from Calgary and Vancouver arrived on Saturday Feb. 13 aboard a WestJet flight.
There were no flights from Western Canada to Hawaii during the previous six days, after 123 people arrived last Saturday, and over 100 the Saturday before. With social distancing in place, 100 passengers makes for a full flight.
Upon arrival the passengers are free to roam in Hawaii, having proven before departure that they do not have COVID-19 (as part of Hawaii’s Safe Travels Program.)
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and B.C. Premier John Horgan have asked that no one travel anywhere on non-essential business, though it is not strictly outlawed.
Instead, the government has been gradually applying travel pressures, like the Jan. 7 rule that anyone coming to Canada by air had to prove a negative COVID-19 test result before departing home.
What's the difference between Lefties who will complain about this and a 767?
The 767 stops whining when the 767 gets to Hawaii.
I like Hawaii. I wonder what available around Hapuna?
