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.
Thanks. I appreciate your answer  :)

I might be flying next week. Anyone have any suggestions on a mask that’s breathable but still keeps out germs. I’ve been using the basic blue 3 ply masks and I find that I can’t keep them on for more than 15 min without plugging it down for a little just to breath

I don’t think flying for pleasure will be a thing for a while.

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?
who said anything about face mask?

Haven't researched it. All airlines are? Pretty sure not.

Those that are, are they requiring it for the duration of the flight?

Yes, except for mealtime.
And most require it from the time of check-in.

Hardly an enjoyable experience.

I hate flying in general (fear) but would fly now in a heartbeat. Haven't been tested for antibodies.

Issue for me is the Rabbanim in our city have said to only fly if essential. Taking the family for vacation doesn't qualify.

As soon as they allow it, I'm gone.

Nah. We need another 2-3 months of lockdown, minimum.

I don't know when I might be flying (probably when I know I can go to EY without having to quarantine), but I do need (a) usable mask(s) I.e. one that will allow me to breath and will not be painful to wear.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!
