Yes we had to fill in a form on the plane, its OK its not a huge form

[salford_steve]

The cabin crew will bring the forms round. It just asks you if you have had flu like symptoms recently that kind of stuff. Who ever photocopied out forms didn't do a good job as half the form hadn't been copied.

Yeah i had to do it when i went to Adana too...and my mum told me they had to do it when goin to Dalaman.
Basically just asking if you have any flu like symptoms,been in contact with anyone,if you have left the UK in the last 10days...
Only a small form

They also had some kind of camera mounted to a tv screen, they were randomly selecting people to walk infront of the camera, not sure what that was about, it was manned by 2 women wareing masks so assume it was something to do with the swine flu thing but not sure what the tv screen was for.

It's a thermal camera and display, they are checking for elevated body temperature which is a symptom of flu, although you think everyone would be caught because of the extrenal temperature, the core body temperature would still show as normal on the thermal display unless you are actually ill,

OK, so what happens if you are glowing thermally? First flight home?

We had this nonsense years back with foot & mouth when we went to Mexico and were bombarded with forms, footbaths and very suspicious immigration officials.

[sanjo]

By all accounts if you are showing a temperature they take you to the local hospital and quarantine you for 24 hours. If you are ok after this you can continue with your holiday, if not then they will keep you there for five days and then fly you back home.

This is what we were told while we were over there last week.

[tamii]

We were informed that if you were showing a temperature that you would be subject to a medical exam

Our 23 year old daughter has Swine Flu now. There is nothing we can do really, except hope that she recovers ok (which she seems to be doing with the help of Tammiflu) and either avoid catching the virus or get the flu and recover before september 3rd.

Here's hoping

Andy and Tracey

[KarenH]

sorry to hear about your daughter andy.....hope she is soon on the mend....

what happens to these queationaires?? when you have completed them? and the airline have collected them up?

[weetoony]

I told Mrs Weetoony, who is going through "the change" and having hot flushes, about this and she is now in a panic that her thermal image might be incandescent

[jo_marie]

Im really worried now!!!, it will be just my luck that I get it just before 10 September when we fly out.

dksbbs I dont understand your comment about the thermal image machine. please can you explain!!, is anyone else worried or is it just me, I am not concerned about getting it im more concerned that I wont be able to go on holiday

[Colette]

I am worried, I am going into hospital next month and be just my luck to catch it in there

[tinkerbelle]

I am bothered because I always and I mean always cough loads on a plane, dry recycled air with asthma is not good. Oh dear will I get stopped, one more thing to worry about.

[jo_marie]

[tinkerbelle]

Good luck with the hospital Coll
