Anyone traveled to the midwest recently? Curious of flight conditions since cases have skyrocketed there. My flight is at full capacity, cause for concern?

Flew to Texas early fall for work. Flights around 1 hour or less don’t leave the middle seat open. Flight above that mark space appropriately. Clean though. This was AA. Helps to fly first if at all possible. Which Airline are you?

American! Thanks for sharing your experience. Seems like most of the seats on my flight are booked so I was a bit worried about distancing

Flew in/out of Chicago yesterday and today. Flights do carry risk of course, but with fresh air being pumped in every 2 mins, it is safer than many other indoor environments like a crowded restaurant. Board last so you have less contact with ppl. Delta is still blocking middle seats and boarding back to front which I like. I flew american yesterday and no middle seat blocked so I did first class and was one of the last ppl on board.

Thanks for the advice!

I’m a new winter grad and I feel absolutely horrendous. As much as I don’t want to admit it I’ve never been more depressed in life. It’s not even bc I’ve lost the stress from school, it’s that I really don’t look forward to my job.

I’ve always wanted to travel the world but I’m in finance and in the role I am in there’s no way for me to do that. I’ve also always wanted to start some kind of food business but it feels like a pipe dream especially given the risk and trade off. Any suggestions?

I have a game I love to play at the airport. I find someone who has the most vague resemblance to someone famous and then insist they are that person.

Like "Oh my God, you're Tom Hanks! I love so many of your movies and I think you are great and so funny in interviews. How are you feeling? I heard you had covid?"

Guy who very very vaguely resembles Tom Hanks insists he isn't. Then I keep insisting he is.

This is a fun way to pass time during layovers.
