I flew last month. Full flight on the way out, most people kept their masks on the entire time but a few idiots would pull it down and keep a drink in their hand. We were given wipes when we boarded the plane, snacks were handed out in sealed bags, otherwise it was like any other pre covid flight.

I got COVID from my Christmas flight. It was United.

Are you okay? I hope your symptoms are minor. Sorry you got covid 😣

Flew from Houston to Mexico City a month ago or so, everyone had masks on and overall felt safe. I got tested a week later (just as a precaution before seeing my family) and was negative :).

I have flown United! Mixed experience depending on how crowded the flight is. I have gotten quite a few free first class upgrades this year but have also been on packed flights with folks in the middle. Typically my long cross country flights had better distancing than short/connecting flights. Flight attendants ask folks to put on mask if not actively eating/drinking. Bring hand sanitizer, wear your mask, and if you super paranoid wear a face shield. I have flown 11/12 months of 2020 and have yet to get covid and I feel that’s because of the precautions put in place and making sure I’m doing what I need to to also protect myself/others

Ugh. There's no way I'm getting on a plane for a long time. Hard pass.
