CO and SARS
While I know CO has reduced/eliminated flights to Hong Kong, Saipan, Gaum, and Tokyo due to SARS and a "soft Asian demand", has anyone experienced a change in service due to SARS on CO?
I know some airlines are giving-out surgical masks to their passengers on flights to Asia and/or Canada...and others, especially Asian-based carriers, are doing screenings of in-bound/out-bound passengers in the gate area to check for temperature and/or symptoms associated with SARS.
I read tonight online that some airports CO Micronesia serve (i.e.: the island hopper) are not allowing thru-passengers to step off the plane for fear of SARS contamination.
Has anyone who has traveled to Canada and/or Asia recently noticed anything different or peculiar on their flights with SARS around? Other than CO's press release on them cancelling Hong Kong service, I haven't seen anything else on CO specifically and what they're doing in the SARS environment.
