Not sure if this has been posted but Universal has gone to date-based pricing.

I'm flying for the fist time during this pandemic for work. They gave us the option to drive but it's a 10 hour drive and would mean that I would have to "waste" a weekend driving. I'm a little wary but all of the airlines seem to be doing a good job distancing so away I go!

Actually a lot of airline aren’t distancing so research who you’re flying!

I'd be drinking like 5 pints of water before the flight so that I didn't need to remove my mask at all on the plane, and then wear multiple masks on the plane if I was you.

I would be careful. It’s really hit or miss. I’ve been on some flights where the plane was mostly empty and I felt very safe. There have been other planes that I’ve been on where I felt very uncomfortable and very nervous. My advice to anyone would be to look for an early morning flight on a weekday (particularly Tues-Thurs). Those tend to be less crowded nowadays. Mind you, I’d also suggest you routinely check on your flight to make sure it hasn’t been cancelled. I had an AA flight get cancelled and never got a notification. I just happen to be looking at the My Trips section of my account and found out one day.

Also, several airlines are not blocking off middle seats and it’s business as usual, including boarding and deplaning where there is no social distance. If you can swing it, I’d suggest looking at the extra legroom seats (exit rows, etc) as those tend to not fill up as fast, given the added fees, as well as accounting for more space in front and behind your seat (all airlines are willing to fill every row at the moment I believe). Sitting literally right next to someone coughing for two hours was a nightmare and the flight was sold out so there was nowhere for me to move. The lesson was do your research.

But, then you have to use the airplane bathroom I did the opposite and drank less so I wouldn't have to go during the flight. I guess it is pick your poison...lol!

Make sure you let us know how it goes!!!

Flying Southwest. Seems they are blocking off middle seats. Not sure on boarding procedures, however.

It's only a 2 hour flight. I'm not drinking anything as I won't want to get up.

I picked a late flight, 9 PM on a Friday. So hopefully less travelers, but didn't think about the cancellation aspect. Good call. Will check that.

Exactly my thoughts, lol.

If it helps anyone flying be more calm, I read this today.

We flew Southwest to MCO last month (and will again in 2 weeks). They board 10 people at a time and are blocking middle seats through at least October 31.

I'm flying also and what has calmed my nerves is I haven't read about any sort of outbreak amoung flight attendants.

Check your itinerary. Southwest changed my late October flight last night from a nonstop with a reasonable arrival time to a 6-hour odyssey with a layover in Nashville, arriving past 8 PM. No email alerting me to the change. I don’t care how many middle seats they leave open, that’s just not a reasonable change in itinerary. In fact, they canceled all nonstops to MCO out of my home airport for that day, so I requested a refund.

Same thing happened to my husband! We (the rest of the family) is flying Delta, but he was trying to use some Southwest points! Saw an article about it, told him to check and his direct flight was no longer direct and the arrival time was moved back by more than 3 hours.

My flight is next week so I'm hoping we don't see any changes.

That sucks.

Same with me, but my times were not bad! The agent said this would be the first of many upcoming changes...
