1. Not a chance n/t

[RamblingRose]

2. is the drink/snack cart still the same?

[A HERETIC I AM]

14. Yes

[Tomconroy]

3. Mostly no but some do

[MaryMagdaline]

4. People are not. I urge you to wear one though

I caught a severe sore throughly - very painful. Would not wish it on anyone. It’s going around.

5. I do, all the time

Few others do though.

[RamblingRose]

6. Do you take it off to drink or eat or go without?

[VMA131Marine]

16. I take it off to drink/eat

The other thing I do is blast the overhead vent on my face. That’s the cleanest air on the plane.

7. Around 10% Are. nt

8. As someone who spends a lot of time on airplanes, I recommend

that you wear a mask. Being right next to unmasked people for a few hours raises your chances of getting sick. Wearing a mask lowers your odds.

I’m pretty sure I’ve gotten COVID from being stuck in middle seats and not wearing a mask. I wear one all the time on airplanes now.

15. Does anyone give you trouble about it?

[mn9driver]

17. I've never had an issue.

[wnylib]

19. Good to know

[we can do it]

9. We did. We also haven't had Covid.

We’ve gone on 8 trips, not just one. Some people are still masking. Maybe a third on last flights from PHL- SEA.

10. same as you here...

and I heard the masking is rare on planes or in airport. I am going to seal on the N95 for dear life, literally.
I shudder thinking of being that close to who knows who with what knows what for that length of time, but I guess I have to hope the mask, the 5x vax, and promise of Paxlovid if I catch it is going to have to be enough if I ever want to do any substantial travel in the foreseeable future.

11. Very few mask

Flew last week. Maybe 10% at most were wearing masks at both Detroit Metro and Tampa International.

[Laffy Kat]

12. It doesn't matter. You need to!

If they're not masking that is all the more reason. Keep yourself safe.

13. We just got back today from flying.

We were masked but we were the exception. It seemed like for every 1 mask about 20 were unmasked. I was kind of surprised.

[RamblingRose]

18. We'll definitely be wearing our N95 masks. I was thinking of bringing some flexible straws

to slide up under the mask - too extreme?

We're flying out of Atlanta which is always a zoo - TSA lines packed with people & over an hour wait times. After watching the flying nightmares unfold last month we're really dreading it.

20. On KLM, Lufthansa and Eurowings they were wearing them

I only took 3 domestic flights while in the USA this past summer. Most were unmasked, and I wasn’t thrilled, but you can’t get from Boston to Washington to Dallas to Chicago in 18 days unless you spend your entire time driving and sleeping, and that’s not what I came for.
