Track and trace after flight

[elise2000]

Afternoon.

My wife was contacted today to say she had been in contact with a positive case and had to self isolate for 10 days. The contact was on Monday. The only place we were on Monday was on a flight back to the uk so it must have been someone on the flight.

I was sat next to her though and have not been contacted.

Does anyone know how close you have to be to someone on a flight to be contacted?

Cheers

2m from memory, my Dad has the same recently.

I flew from Newquay to Manchester a couple of weeks back and got a 'you must isolate' text about 9 days later. I rang and was told I needn't bother, as so much time had passed since the flight anyway!

Thanks.

We’ve worked out that we swapped seats so she could sit by the window, so it’s me who should have been contacted.

If it’s 2m it must have been someone the other side of the aisle then.

That’s the farce, you put seat number (I don’t think you have to) on the PLF and this happens, even though flights are quiet and people are all moving around after the boarding is complete.

My flight was half empty and we were told we could sit where we liked whilst in flight, so long as we moved back for the landing.

That’s usually to do with weight and balance and depends often on the aircraft type and number empty seats.

Some aircraft are quite sensitive to how the seating is done, you sometimes see this on the smaller Airbus when disembarking is slow but the loaders have taken already bags out of the old and then the aircraft starts to tilt a bit.

That’s reminded me… we didn’t put the seat number on the plf as we hadn’t checked in so didn’t know it… would the airline have disclosed it to track and trace?
