Flights still going in lockdown - who and why?

[PorkInsider]

Every flight I've been on in the past 6 months or so has been packed.

It's really not helpful when on some routes airlines are using smaller planes with even less space between passengers, so even more crowded than if every seat was full on a larger plane.

If you don’t know the answer to that there’s no point telling you.

Seriously, is that not a very good reason for telling someone the answer? Please indulge me as I have no idea why you think its misleading - the symbols are big enough to be reasonably visible and countable no?

Lon-DXB yesterday (Emirates). Pretty quiet flight. Even on a 377.
I'd say 1/3 full in all cabin classes.

DXB-BKK-HK
Full in economy, business mostly full, first quiet.

Flew to Israel via Kiev in Jan and both flights were full. Return journey with Virgin direct from Tel Aviv was at most 1/3 full.

Flights between Amsterdam and Heathrow were all full before xmas as was my flight to Belfast on Thursday. Still quite a few people flying, but, it's actually quite nice with minimal queues to get through security at the moment.

We emigrated to New Zealand on Jan 23rd. Flights with Singapore were empty literally 30 people on board I reckon. 10 of those got off at Singapore and probably 20 more got on to go the final leg to NZ. As already said most will be citizens returning home.

Actual flight was brilliant cabin crew let us all sprawl out as long as we stayed behind a certain line as they wanted to keep the Singapore nationals away from residents of the uk.
