Future Visa Runs?

[scott h]

Ran across this and it might be something for those who need to do a visa run might like to know about. 

I can foresee certain possible cancellation problems, but some info is better than none

In an advisory, the flag carrier said promotion includes $99 for round trip international tickets for travel from November 1, 2020 to May 31, 2021.

Every time I search for a promo fare there is never any. Last week Cebu Pacific had something out. Searched in travel dates they advertised but no promos. Usually always like this?

And how about the expense and hassle of travel with the quarantine restrictions.   Those quick and cheap out and back trips are suddenly a lot more expensive.

Good Point! When the renewals  are reinstituted and a guy is either on a BB or at the end of his tourist visa. Hopefully the 2 week quarantine at an approved hotel will no longer be in effect. Your right, it would get expensive.

Same here.  I have found some before, but none recently.  They make it hard to find, on purpose.

Yes, but the travel period is until May next year, if there is a need.  Covid will be long forgotten by then.  CDC is getting ready for the next problem, dependent on election results.

Might be only a few airlines left by then and the risk of losing the money to a bankrupt airline just to save a few dollars which might cost everything for nothing. Look at a large travel agent that went bust in Australia. Must be many of them everywhere so everything is a risk.
