I want to fly out next month and have not flown since the pandemic. How is it and is it safe in your opinion?

When you say “fly out” do you mean out of the country or just flying in general?


At any rate I’ve only flown twice since the pandemic and it was short domestic flight. I made it a point to fly in first class because that was the only way to ensure that I wasn’t sitting directly up under someone. To be fair, I still didn’t feel much safer. They didn’t serve snacks or drinks in economy but they did in first and of course people then took their masks off.

Yes several times. They had the middle seat open so flights are not fully booked and I was happy with that. Not sure if middle seats are still open on flights tho.

I went to Jamaica in October and didn't have any issues at all. I plan on taking another trip between May and June, kids a trip in July, and possibly one more trip in August

Jut flying in general within the country. An hour to an hour and a half flight.

I wouldn't mind flying first class but the taking off of the masks would make me uncomfortable.

Delta is the only airline that is guaranteeing to block the middle seat on all of its flights. I have flown with them a couple of times since the pandemic and felt safe.

The airports were a little too crowded for my taste though.

It was really just a “peace of mind” thing. One flight was full and the people in economy were packed in like sardines.

Another flight I had the entire front row to myself but a guy in the row behind me refused to keep his mask on and decided to argue with the flight attendants until they threatened to have him arrested.

I have been traveling since March,lol but only domestically. It hasn't been bad. I personally feel safe flying, but of course, I take precaution. Wipe down the seats, reg. sanitizing and hand washing and wearing my mask. So far, no issue. I know other people who have flied and they have been good too. All the people I know who caught covid caught it from work/their social circle.

I flew in December from Toronto to Mexico and I felt safe. It was a different vibe growing through the airport and I made sure to wipe down the trays and stuff on the plane.

I second Delta. They have been great - give you bags with sanitizer and wipes, and also for food and water. If you travel early or late, usually not very full and I believe they are still blocking the middle seat.

I'm supposed to go to Guinea and Senegal soon (all my relatives, including my mother, are begging me), so I'm wondering the same thing too since I can sometimes be a bit too germaphobic. My mother took the Pfizer vaccine already, and I'm waiting to take mine.

A few times, and most of the time I had a whole aisle to myself so that was great.

I don't know what you mean by safe, the safest thing is to stay distanced from other people which is obviously not going to happen on a plane, so...

I have been flying both domestically and internationally the whole pandemic with no problems. I just wear my mask and social distance when I’m suppose to.

Third on Delta. I have flown them domestic and long haul international during the panini and have felt extremely safe. They have really been going above and beyond to make sure their customers are comfortable right now. However, I did fly United back in August and it was so terrible (the plane was packed and tons of people took their masks off for the flight and the flight attendants said nothing) I canceled my return ticket and rebooked on Delta.
