I’m on holiday in Dubai at the moment. Flew here last week from London on EK wearing a mask of course. I don’t like mask wearing but am prepared to put up with it in order to travel in the same way I put up with airport security, taking off belt and shoes, sorting liquids into a plastic bag etc etc. We have also had to put up with getting a pre departure from the UK PCR test (as required by UAE) and will have to have a day 2 PCR test when we return to the UK. The only way I could see mask wearing being dropped by airlines would be if a condition of carriage was that every passenger was double jabbed, and I don’t see that happening so I think for quite a while it will be a case of wear a mask or don’t fly. In our case the lure of travel was strong enough for us to put up with the hassles.
