About to fly (for mandatory personal reasons.) Any tips on how to make the process as safe as possible? Is Southwest the best choice? They’re still blocking middle seats

Delta is too! Flew with them recently and had a good experience. They also give wipes to all passengers to sanitize their area.

Wear a mask. Extreme social distance at all times in the airport and minimize your time in the airport. Quarantine for 2 weeks at your destination. Funny enough the plane itself is the safest part of your journey due to constant recirculation and hepa filters.

This. Flew recently on southwest and middle rows were empty / plane looked very clean. But definitely spend as little time in the airport as possible. Bring wipes and wipe everything down. Chances of contraction on plane are small but try your best not to touch your face, keep the air and your mask on (preferably n95+) the entire time

Go to the bathroom before going to the airport. Eat before going; try to limit how much water you drink beforehand. Try to never take off your mask. Ideally, only take it off for IDing at TSA. I’ve flown twice, and I still don’t have it.

1- book on whatever airline you have status on so you can make free same-day flight changes if needed

2- pick a day when you have flexibility in timing

3- book a flight that has almost no people on it based on the seat map

4- check the seat map a day out and the day of. If the flight filled up too much, change to another one that has fewer people

5- get to the airport as late as possible so you don't spend time hanging around

6- wear a mask and bring hand sanitizer :)

Yes, I would definitely recommend Delta. Took a Delta flight 3+ weeks ago, it was great. I am booked on another Delta flight for another trip next week. Just wear your mask, wash your hands often, social distance at the airport. You will be fine.

Don’t fly American - flights have been completely full. I’ve flown cross country a couple of times over the past month (for family) and haven’t gotten it yet; however I do wear N95 mask on planes. If you do fly AA, they will offer vouchers to switch to a less crowded flight

Delta is great at enforcing rules, haven't flown SW yet. Frontier (only option for return flight) was surprisingly good too. Otherwise:
Wear a good mask.
Sanitize your hands frequently.
Don't congregate around others at the airport if possible. Similarly, I wouldn't hold any conversations with the airport or on the plane.
If not a long flight, don't eat snacks til you deplane and put your mask back on between any sips of water.

Went from a big firm to work for a smaller firm. The people in the smaller firm are protective of their work and are good by their work too. I no longer feel chaos or stress. I am treated with respect and my schedule is more normal. I am even working more billable hours than before, but it feels like a seamless experience. I don’t work then past 5pm or anything out of the ordinary for this time of the year. I am so grateful!
