If so, have you contracted or known anyone who has contracted the virus from the flight?

Not long haul but been on a few cross country and 20 flights total since it started. Traveled with my wife and toddler every time and we're all safe. You're fine. Don't listen to the fear mongering.

I flew to Germany and back in June. Nothing happened. I wore an N95 and flew Delta (they blocked the middle seats). Couple of my friends flew as well very recent. They’re all happy and healthy!

I’ve taken five flights so far, including a 13-hour flight from SFO to IST (albeit in business class). Didn’t get covid and the transatlantic flight was fairly empty (as many international ones are). I board last, wear an N95 the whole time, and ask at check-in for a seat away from others. Business class award availability is quite good right now too. Domestically, it may easier to be away from people in economy, but most airlines have moved to longhaul business class seats where every seat is lieflat and has aisle access, and some even have closing doors, so they’re quite separated from other seats, reducing transmission risk.

I have some family members who have and they were all safe. All but one of their flights were pretty empty.

Flew London to LA. I’m fine.
