Genius!

As long as everyone on board was aware of the risks and they all quarantine afterwards, then I say why the heck not.

Just the fact they are willing to go so far to avoid restrictions kinda give's you the impression they don't and they won't.

if only one person out of 160 is covid positive they are all screwed

[OwlHoot]

They look very happy, apart from the concern about Carbon emissions from the flight, what are you lot getting worked up about?

I'd only get worked up if the plane is on its way to the UK!

Otherwise the idiots can do what they want.

Yeah looked closer and can see masks.

Just another example of how the rules do not make sense. As has been said. Plane full of strangers, ok. Wedding guests not.

Joking aside it is things like this going on not just in India but in our country that helps to push further restrictions on everyone. Justified or not.

Always makes me laugh when the government makes statements like" The public need to use common sense" When we all have to cater for the lowest common denominator in society.

Just because restrictions are lifted, does not make me want to mix in large numbers, unless I have to (hospitals etc). For example I have not been to a large supermarket or shopping centre since March 2020. Or used public transport.

Is this story true. Could have been a wedding from years ago.

If you look carefully, some people are warring masks...

It's being widely reported across a number of outlets but it's a good point as often these things get dragged up from an old story and conflated with current events.

What they have not said, is the bride and groom are the captain and first officer. Aircraft is on autopilot.

[vetran]

so if they had got on a commercial plane with hundreds of strangers it would have been fine?

As above if they all isolate before & after why not?

Not Genius! It's utter stupidity.

Agreed.

One of the Indian variants is very contagious....
