"What it’s like flying in the US right now"...

I've flown three times in the last 2 months. The best thing about flying during COVID is upon arrival everyone stays in there seats until its time for your row to leave the plane. No idiots trying to rush out.

It's largely uneventful.

If anything other than the damn mask...it easier than ever.

Sitting in an airport right now... the last 2 months of flights have been glorious.

However, the mask Nazis are gaining ground... just heard announced that masks with vents or filters are No longer allowed and neither are bandanas or general cloth face coverings. And the fact they make kids under 10 wear them is ridiculous. F this world

Friend,

I am grateful all the airlines are requiring masks of passengers, and am even more grateful that the requirements are becoming more specific. I think either an N-95 or a three-ply surgical mask should be required. The surgical masks can be bought in bulk for 5-10 cents, so airlines should have an ample supply of the surgical masks for flyers who arrive with their homemade ones and rotisserie chicken face covers. I wish airlines did not get out any food or drinks during the flight. That way, no one would be allowed to remove their masks, which would make the flight much safer. Too many people on flights I have taken have used the "I'm still eating" excuse to keep off their masks. If you cannot go a few hours without food or some water maybe you need to re-evaluate the difference between need and want, and modify your habits through discipline, as the monastics did. Keep in mind you do not eat or drink during sleep for many hours, and you have been doing that for years now without any adverse outcomes.

The flying crowds are increasing with each passing week. Airports in general remain quiet. Restaurants are often not open. I've taken five flights now in a post-Covid19 world, and each flight has departed the gate early. I have not had any delays. In that sense, it has been wonderful. My flights have been altered a week ahead of schedule, but the changes did not cause any significant issues.

Friend,

No amount of malice from your mouth will ever keep me from liking you. Coach (Al), Mr. Rodriguez, Mrs. Silbernagel, and Coach Ray probably would not want to read those words coming from you either.

I remain at your service,

Friend,

I think your EU total is actually the world total. I believe the EU total is approximately 184,000.

Aside from mostly closed rest/bars in airports, it's the best it's been in years. Lately you can find at least one bar serving. I fly Southwest and they are not selling the middle seats. Makes flying comfortable. Us travelers know that pre-rona, those flights were full, 90% of the time. Boarding and unboarding quicker. No liquor served on SW flights though. That's gotta change.
