How safe is air travel now? Thinking of going home to stay with family but not sure how safe the trip is. Distance is too far to drive.

All airlines are mandating masks. I'd say it's less than ideal to do so but I'd imagine airports are cleaner than they've ever been and have way less people in them.

Go now before more States open up. I traveled three weeks ago and the plane was at 15% capacity.

The air in the cabin is actually cleaner than in most places bc they filter it throughout the flight

Uber has its own risk, I would bring wipes if you are concerned about it. But I know they have stopped ride sharing, but it just depends on if the last person in the car before you was infected. The few times I’ve taken uber I’ve tried to have the windows rolled down when possible, wore mask and gloves, and washed hands asap. The airport is probably less risky than the Uber with so few ppl traveling.

As safe as it was a month ago.

As safe as the metro/subway bus... people make more of a deal with airplanes but I rather get there than the subway or even a taxi

You’ll likely live alone or with very few people so it shouldn’t be that bad

It's quite safe.

Flying home on Saturday after 8 weeks of solitude.

For those who have flown so far - do we need to present a valid "essential" reason at the airport to do a US interstate flight? Is TSA/security asking for such proof?

Lol not at all, you give your ID and go through security like old times. Except TSA is far more happy and friendly now.

What about quarantining when you land? For example, I saw that Texas is requiring a 14-day quarantine for domestic travelers coming from certain states. Does that complicate flying in/out of Texas?

Coming to California

It's probably safer than going to the grocery store, as planes are running at like 10% capacity. You'll probably have well more than 6 ft to yourself in each direction.

I am a field marketer. I travel and cover 12 states. HQ is across the US on the east coast. My manager put a surprise calendar invite twice now to go to home office without consulting dates to see if we were available. I stood up and asked to be included on available dates and said I will attend virtually but asking me to be away for 4 additional full days away from my family without asking me is not OK. I already travel a lot and this boundary is super important to me. Am I right or wrong?

Serious question - is there a reverse FIRE strategy? I like the idea of saving and retiring early, but the one hiccup I see (and sorry if this is grim) is if you die earlier than expected. I’d be worried that I would minimize lifestyle and fun for retirement at 50 but I’d die at 49. How about a way to work 9 months out of the year and retire/travel/relax for 3 months? This way you guaranteed your dreams/etc. are fulfilled

Can someone walk me through the Do's and Don't's of AA miles? I think they're a joke.

I have 65k miles and I could only pay for a one-way ticket from PHX-JFK. I had to book 1 leg with miles and the 1 with cash, but booking the other leg in cash was about 80% of the round trip in cash.

My mom has 12k miles that expire soon, transferring them would cost me $450. I can pay for a round trip with that cash but I can only pay for a trip to my kitchen with those 12k miles.

What am I doing wrong? 😂
