@Daniil, you flagged a comment as 'no longer needed' while OP of Q asked OP of answer to see his edited Q. I do not see the OP of A having been there, did you?

The other answer did also not cover all airlines OP mentioned in the edit to the Q.

user435118

@Willeke It was from a long time ago so unlikely the comment will be acted on

Willeke

Answer posted 4 hours ago, comment posted 3 hours ago. That is not long at all.

user435118

Oh sorry, I've been looking at the wrong flag. Give me a sec

Willeke

Your flag 2 hours ago, so less than 2 hours after the comment was posted.

A: If my ticket allows me to take with me a max. of 23kg luggage, can I take two luggage with me whoso total weights is less than 23kg?

This varies a lot. It used to be that there were two concepts: piece concept: you are allowed a number of pieces of luggage, and there’s a max weight per piece. This was most common on flights to/from the US weight concept: you are allowed a total weight, and there isn’t any limit to the numbe...

user435118

I think the comment is no longer needed now since the OP of A has obviously been on

Willeke

4:09 PM

Thanks, I missed he posted a comment after the one you flagged.

user435118

@Willeke Are you mainly the only one handling flags?

Willeke

I have handled most since I became mod.

user435118

Yeah, I see you're much more active than the other mods

Willeke

The rest have jobs that do not allow them the spread visiting that I can do, with a short visit in each of my breaks at work.

That makes that I see more flags than they do, even when they do come in often.

What does this part of the comment mean:

user435118

> Maybe just enjoy your immense privilege and stop quibbling over literal quarters?

user435118

I got the rest of the comment but not that. What privilege?

Willeke

He is much richer as the local people, that is a privilege. (He must be, otherwise he could not afford to be there for weeks or months at a time.)

user435118

Oh I see, I get it now

user435118

Ooh, we are averaging 6+ questions a day now, great

user435118

I've got to go to school for 1 day a week from 15th June :/

Willeke

See it in the positive, you will see your classmates at school (if you do not loath your classmates that is.)

It will be the start of things going back to normal.

user435118

True, I don't loath all of them :)

Willeke

I used to loath at least part of my class all the time at school, but never all.

But I liked going to school most of the time. I did enjoy getting lessons.

user435118

Some more than others, a few a lot

user435118

Is the word 'loath' common in The Netherlands? We don't really use it in the UK

user435118

4:19 PM

We would say dislike, or hate in stronger cases

Willeke

No, but it was the best I could remember.

And in my case it was stronger than dislike but hate would not (always) cover it.

user435118

The school are going to have 90 children on-site at a time

user435118

Split into 3 groups of 30 and using exam halls instead of classrooms

user435118

No food is being sold, going to the toilet is during lessons and maths, english and science only

user435118

You still not working?

Willeke

4:23 PM

Sounds like pretty much like what my coworker told me about the schedule her sons have. (13 and 15 years of age.) The younger one has 'practical' lessons in school, but not the ones he would usually have. He was scheduled to do cooking, which he has never done before.

I have never stopped working. Two weeks of half days and then back to normal hours.

user435118

You're at a factory, right?

Willeke

Yes, but the rules here did mean it did not have to close.

And while we have lost part of our customers, but the rest all seems to want their things 'now'.

user435118

bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52954305 - that's doesn't help COVID

Willeke

We have had no big incidents with social distancing since week 2, till there was a protest in Amsterdam last week.

Too many people, in the center of the city where there is not much space and the roads in and out are small.

And of course all people on the edge and ready to become violent.

user435118

> Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick urged protesters to find another way to make their views heard.

user435118

4:28 PM

Agreed ^

Willeke

I agree as well.

I read about an online protest, like a protest where everybody gets to the same spot, in this case everybody signs a protest site and leaves his/her comments. I do not remember the topic (not something I would go out for) but it is a lot more sensible than traveling to and getting together in a city right now.

But whatever happens, there will be COVID 19 for months or even years to come, lets just hope we get medication and such for those who do catch it badly.

user435118

Agreed, apparently a second wave in the autumn

Willeke

@Daniil, I think your answer here is a bit unclear, 'border is open' but 'returning will be hard and can be denied' (my wording.) I think you need to state that second part also at the top. (Returning might be impossible) before you post the 'you can leave' bit.

Q: Can I currently (June 2020) travel from Israel to the Taba hotel area and return to Israel?

I have a Israeli student visa in my US passport. I would like to take a day trip to Taba - just over the border from eilat. Is the border open? Will they let me into Taba? More importantly: Will Israel let me back in?

user435118

Do you think you have had it?

Willeke

I am pretty sure I have had a kind of flue, very light, about 2 months after I had a different flue, and it is very likely to have been COVID 19.

But no testing yet.

Ah, I said I have been working all the time. I forgot about the week and a bit I stayed home with symptoms.

user435118

4:39 PM

Everyone can get a test here if they are 5+ and have symptoms

Willeke

Here now as well, but that is when you have symptoms, not when you have had it.

At least, I think we do not have tests for 'have I had it.'

user435118

At the beggining the UK was slow on everything, especially testing but they are better now

Willeke

Good edit on that Israel Q.

user435118

@Willeke Edited, I answered in the order I did because of the order of the questions but I see the reasoning why it's better now

user435118

@Willeke Thanks for the +1 :)

user435118

4:42 PM

Ooh, the Q got hot.

Willeke

Now you got it. (I just forgot it before.)

user435118

I do intend to start posting more even when I'm in school full time, my schedule after school is less busy now

user435118

I'm off for a bit of fresh air, bye!

Willeke

Have fun.

user435118

7:27 PM

@Willeke I was wondering if you could migrate this to drones? travel.stackexchange.com/q/157559/105447 I’ll check with the site mods quickly if it’s fine

Willeke

If you flag it, I will migrate it the next time I am in. I suppose you want to ask first.

user435118

7:45 PM

@Willeke I asked in the mod chat room, one mod says not sure so down to the other mod I guess

Willeke

Or I just migrate and it can be rejected by close voting.

Willeke

7:58 PM

@Daniil, that Q got an answer now, and that answer concentrates on the legal side, not the drone side. I think we can leave that Q where it is, but if the other mods on drones wants it, flag and I move it.

user435118

@Willeke Legal is suitable for Drones.SE

Willeke

Happy to move it for you, but I am not going to do so without being asked to do it, now it has a good answer.

user435118

We just reached a consensus and we don’t want it but thanks for the offer :)

Willeke

8:13 PM

OK, I will leave it where it is.

I am off, work early tomorrow.

Bye

user435118

Bye!
