Putting aside the sad news of the emergence of corona virus, can we have a discussion/update on how this affects our travelling plans, prices, attraction crowds etc.
A few countries have already placed a ban on flights departing to and arriving from China, and some countries have visa restrictions etc on Chinese citizens. This means maybe 70-80% of chinese tourists will cancel or unable to make it to their planned travel destinations. What I'd like on this discussion are probably as follows:
Examples:
1. Airtravel:
a) Return tickets of cathay pacific from KL - London has dropped to RM2400 for 24/03 - 29/03 from RM2700 when I looked it up before CNY
b) A lot of empty seats on my flight to Hong Kong yesterday
c) No hot meals were served on my flight to Hong Kong yesterday with Malaysia Airlines.
2. Attractions:
a) No/shorter queues needed at Universal Studios Singapore when I visited yesterday
b) Ticket prices have dropped for entry to Paris Disneyland
3. Others that you can think of
thanks
