Any photographers traveling by plane yet?

For kicks, this morning I looked over Expedia flights.  Man flights are still cheap for international flights! 

Kind of tempted.  Actually I need to see if flights are practicing social distancing or not.  

Have you flown yet?

All my trips this year that have flights have been cancelled.  I'm going to wait till 2021 before even looking at flights.  Unless something dramatically changes.   

Then again, I'm a bit on the cautious side.  Example 2 weeks ago when I went to Arizona to pick up my trailer... this is what I did to my bed while staying at the Marriott.  

LOL

I had a niece that flew from Knoxville, Tn. to West Palm Beach, FL. last week and there were 9 people on the plane. That reminds me of he time I flew from Boston to Atlanta with 9 other people a week after 9/11.

Not here, we have been just spending time on the boats and camping.   We have no interest in tight spaces with others at the moment.

No desire to jump in a plane at all right now.  I'm staying clear of any public transportation period.

I've not, but have a good friend who flew last month and he was saying the plane was nearly empty and no snack was given, bad experience with a lot of delays.  I'll be passing as well.

Only traveling we have been doing, has been by car.  Well SUV.  Just a bit of camping this summer for our household.  Actually this is the busiest I have seen the camp grounds.   So, I think we aren't alone.

+1 Yep, same here.  It would be interesting that a study is created that test people for Covid before they fly and then retest the same people 15 or 30 days after flying.  How many of those came down with Covid during that time period.
