Who here has flown since Covid?

[Doctor Phibes]

No way. I came back into the US in March, avoiding the first lockdown by a few days, and I remember there were a couple of kids across from me who appeared to be as sick as heck. I was pretty annoyed at the time, but I guess it wasn't Covid.

Nope, I haven't flown myself since the move south last year.

It might come back, I renewed the flight instructor certificate a couple months ago.

[Horace]

Yep. Will fly again on the 26th. My parents should be immune presently.

[LuFins Dad]

I did.

Oh, you mean in a plane... No.

Yeah I knew you did. That’s why I asked.

[Aqua Letifer]

I'll be taking an airship over Waterdeep next week, but likely that doesn't count.

[Loki]

I would but haven’t had the need. The reasons to fly for me, work and vacation, have vaporized.

[bachophile]

0 also

I usually flew once every few months

[Klaus]

0, too.

[jon-nyc]

I flew for work(foundation) vacations and Duke visits.

First and last are virtual. Vacations are on hold.

[89th]

I plan to in March.

[Axtremus]

No flying since COVID-19 became a thing in the USA and no plan to fly until I get my two doses of vaccine, whenever those come along.

Flew to cabo in june and to cozumel in august. Cabo trip they did not sell middle seats. Cozumel plane full

[taiwan_girl]

Flown Intra Asia. The problem is that both Taiwan and Thailand require a two week quarantine upon arrival, so have to plan carefully. And in Thailand, have to pay for the quarantine. Depending on which hotel you choose, it can be quite expensive. Lol

Definitely less air travel though.

[mark]

Zero. In fact, I have not flown, or even stepped foot in an airport except to pick up or drop off my mother, since Jon's party.

I don't plan on ever flying again. Have no desire to travel anywhere that requires flying, so that's a good thing.

Virtual Duke visits? How does that work? No physical examinations to be done? I assume lab work can be done locally...

Yeah. I do labs locally and home spirometry. They usually don’t trust the accuracy of home spirometers in any absolute sense, but they do capture trends. The only thing I’ve been missing is chest X-rays, but I did a local CT scan in August.

Had I been more recently transplanted, or were I not stable, they would have wanted me to come in for a broncoscopy also.

So basically they’ve been ok with it because they know I’ve been stable and because they know it’s temporary.
