I just got back from my first post pandemic domestic air travel experience. Harrowing to say the least. International air travel sounds very safe, however domestic flying was atrocious. Outside of mandatory masking, there are absolutely no restrictions. No temp checks, no proof of vaccination, and no proof of clear test. The quality of masking really came down to our stewardesses. On one flight a dude so much a showed his nose, and he was told he would be placed on a no fly list if it happened again. However, the next flight had everyone wearing chin diapers with absolutely no push back. My last flight had a tandem of whales both of whom 1000% had COVID. They were blasting dry painful coughs the whole way. Based on our departing flights, we chose to upgrade to the pathetic first class section, in order to distance ourselves from the MAGA chuds. Was undeniably worth it. Doesn’t protect you from standing in line for TSA with adults pulling suitcases shaped like R2D2, but it does get you off the fucking plane asap, with a thimble of booze in you, without having to further cavort with the hoopleheads.
