Travelling to the US from Thailand through the Pacific route. Many will be/have been. Any advice would be appreciated. There are many optional routes: Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, Japan and even China. Any recommended precautions during this period of the corona virus?

Re: Travel Advice
If your whole concern is the corona virus definitely bypass China and Hong Kong if traveling prior to June, if
June or later l don't think any city should be bypassed

Re: Travel Advice
I doubt this pandemic will be over by June. I suspect if you're travelling from June that by then simply coming from Thailand means you'll be required to quarantine yourself on arrival in the US for 14 or more days.

Will be flying out on February 27th via Taiwan on Eva airlines and coming back on March 16th. Hope you are wrong GT93, that would suck.
Re: Travel Advice
Just read on Eva airlines page that they are not allowing anyone that has been in China, Hong Kong, and Macau to transfer through or enter Taiwan at Taipei airport. So that is a positive.

Depends on your US destination Gus.
I go to Dallas so the best route for me is Korean Airlines via Seoul Korea. Straight shot to Korea, 2 hour layover and then straight to DFW.

Re: Travel Advice
Not many options out of Houston. Eva hands down the shortest flight time, to and from. Love Singapore, flew them exclusively before Eva started here, just too damn long of a flight.

These are the nations that do not meet those standards: Bangladesh, Curacao, Ghana, Malaysia, The Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (which include Barbados, St. Lucia, St. Kitts, Nevis, and Antigua), Pakistan, Thailand, and Venezuela.

Re: Travel Advice
What standards are they referring to?
Internationally recognised aviation standards or just some US specific standards recently (or not) published?

Re: Travel Advice
^^ That was breaking news last night as breaking sleep took over me.
Appears that Belarus air traffic control, with the possible collusion of agents of President Lukashenko onboard a scheduled Ryanair flight from Athens to Vilnius, somehow advised the flight crew that there was a bomb onboard (there wasn't) and land immediately in Minsk, shepherded by an air force plane. Whereupon a leading opposition blogger was removed from the plane by said operatives.
The anti-government blogger had been listed as a terrorist by the Lukashenko regime. Queue the usual anti-terrorism claims from the tinpot dictator.
