Would you fly within the 50 states? Internationally? What are your thoughts?

was very interested to hear from fellow DDF members who travel more than the average person what their thoughts on flying are as I haven't seen it discussed at all. I live in FLA and need to travelt to NYC in a few weeks. I'm flying on Jet Blue so the middle seat is empty but wondering if I am still being foolish...

read up on how air filtration works on airplanes should calm your nerves a bit

I am for work. Doc says if I take proper precautions it shouldn't be a big deal. He also says we're the world's largest science experiment living in the largest test tube... Not very comforting...

I would think twice about flying today, but would probably do it if I really wanted to.

I have antibodies but DW doesn’t.

Also, I’ve read up on the air filtration systems they have in place.

If I didn't have antibodies I would not fly now.
Given that I do, I'd consider flying for a need, but wouldn't for pleasure yet.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Negative for antibodies, would fly without a second thought. And would love to.

Never mind the obvious risk factors, is flying with a face mask and near zero in-flight  service something you'd actually love to do?

I doubt he'd love flying for the sake of flying, but rather for the destination. At least that's the case with me. I'd love to fly right now - to get to somewhere interesting, even with Ryanair, 2 face masks and a face shield..
