I would definitely wear a mask to fly & I am not a fan of masks in general - only for airplane.

I absolutely would. All the folks that I know that have gotten COVID more recently had been traveling (either by air or on a cruise). I have so far turned down air travel because I just don't think the risk is worth it for me. You have to decide your own priorities. If you decide to go, masking, hand washing and etc are still a very good idea. Hope everything works out for you.

Hi Hilda,
Good idea to wear …especially prior to boarding. They say being in the airport and boarding is the worst time. And good idea to bring some wipes and give your tray and anything you touch a wipe. I know it’s a pain in the neck but it might save picking up something. Have a wonderful time!!
