Leaving On A Jet Plane

Have you been on an airplane since March 2020? We flew to Florida over Labor Day weekend. Beside my usual flying anxiety (which has been discussed in many other blogs), I was additionally apprehensive due to all the news articles concerning unruly passengers and those that refused to wear masks. Our experience on both flights, however, was pleasant and enjoyable.

 

Other than a few people who, while at the departure gate kept their mask around their chin while holding a soda and took a sip of their soda when asked to pull their mask up, almost everyone was courteous and happy to properly abide by the mask rules, covering both nose and mouth. We were traveling with a baby and most people politely kept their distance.

 

 We did learn one new fact. While most airports will let people preboard with children under two, Orlando airport will not. As the ticket agent announced at the gate, “This is Disney, everyone has children.”

 

 Have you flown since the beginning of the pandemic? What has been your experience?

We've not flown.

I have flown twice and had no problem related to the pandemic. It was "business as usual" including an unanticipated problem with the plane that resulted in a night in the Denver airport. Looking forward to two more trips over the next few months.

I have flown quite a bit since 3/2020. Not a single incident. Most of the airlines that I've flown have banned alcohol sales in flight (prob cuts down on issues).

Flown a bunch of times. Other than frustrating flight changes, pretty good (except for one horror show where flight was delayed because of weather and rebooked the next morning.)

I have flown several times without any incident (other than flight delays as others have mentioned). My wife recently flew back to Florida from JFK. Unfortunately, she exhibited a flight delay and then a traveler decided to vape in the rest room on the plane before take off. The person and their partner had to be taken off the fight, requiring the sealed door to be opened and all new paperwork to be processed upon reclosing the cabin door. So please do not vape on a plane.
