Once I'm vaccinated I won't so much be concerned about covid as I will be annoyed at the prospect of dealing with all the covid protocols. I'll probably wait until flying is a semi-normal experience.
Not yet. I will probably wait until fall for this. I want the general level of covid to be lower before I start flying again (this is probably influenced by the fact that I'm 99% sure I caught my own covid on a plane).
Yeah, we are going to start in Seward on the south coast, then to Girdwood/Alyeska for a couple nights then up to Denali for a couple nights before final night in Anchorage. Still planning most of the specifics but have a general sense of what we'll end up doing.
I'm driving everywhere until my son is vaccinated. But I'm flying to the Cal/TCU game. If Texas has a third wave and in-person attendance is banned, I'm still going to watch it on TV in Fort Worth because my ticket and AirBnB are not refundable.
the "problem" i noticed w/ United compared to Delta is that, United will give you a credit for the amount of your ticket if you cancel, but it is not like cash.
- lets say you initially had a $300 ticket and cancel
- if you buy a $250 ticket, you lose the $50
- if you buy a $350 ticket, you pay the extra $50
on Delta when you cancel they just put the money in your account and you can use it incrementally if you want.
THat's a good point. Luckily it's about 280 to Dallas and I'd guess most flights will be more than that and if it's less, like going to LA I'll just pay that.
flying?
unlikely any time soon.
Flew to my mom's in december for xmas. But by I had already had my first dose
not yet...at least that's my official excuse for skipping a cousin's wedding in May in Southern California

Yes, though nothing is planned and I flew a handful of times last fall.
yep, flying to Alaska in 2.5 weeks
did you figure out all the places you wanted to visit?

My next flight will probably also be Cal/TCU. I guess I'll need to see if United still offers credit if it is cancelled.

Currently planning to fly to Ohio in August, am not sure I'll fly before that.
