I’m flying on Saturday to my moms home state because her father is in the hospital(not for covid thankfully) and we’re so scared to fly but it’s better than a 16 hour drive so we’re doing everything in our power to stay safe
Hey Thrifty Traveler! I have to fly Delta to Nashville next week for work, I loved your travel video. Thank you for sharing it, I feel much more at ease or at least someone at ease and prepared for my travels. Thank you again!!
Haven't flown anything but Delta domestically in the past couple of years. It's just the best airline for my frequent routes. I feel fortunate because they seem to be doing the best with emphasizing safety more than any other domestic airline.
Thanks for sharing this video showing the covid travel experience. We also noticed next to empty airports when we filmed our experience of having to flying across the world during covid.
Flew MSP-LAS-MSP and got back yesterday. MSP super quiet Thursday night and no wait for TSA precheck. Delta plane seemed very clean and love the middle seat empty. Plenty of room for the hubby and I. The airport at MSP yesterday looked like a normal day. Very busy so it looks like more people are flying.
I'm flying delta to London in a few days and thank you, your video was informative. Its a longer flight (7-8 hours), so I'm going an extra step with a hoodie to cover my hair, face shield, goggles and KN95 mask. I will wipe everything down and will cover my head with a blanket LOL. I was told, it would be a good idea to go straight to the hotel (in my case airbnb), and strip and shower immediately. I plan to do just that LOL. I was promised that with a premium ticket, there should not be anyone sat next to me, BUT when it came to seat selection, Delta didn't block me from sitting next to another seat. Luckiliy, the flight going is still very empty 2 days ahead, but the flight going back (in a month) is rather crowded. I will monitor, and if it becomes a problem, I will ask to switch flights.
Super helpful..we are flying united next week on a 5 hour flight and I was told there was absolutely no service, no distancing, etc. Sounds like Delta is the way to go. Wish we would have booked with them.
@@beezybisOh yeah, it was a breeze..the were lots of closed stores and such in the airports. It was not as busy in the airport but there were folks there. The Washington Dulles airport was packed though. People were everywhere. Flight was a lot like he described. He was on point. We traveled abroad so we had a few other extras like presenting negative covid tests, etc.
Gonna be flying Delta in December out of Minneapolis and was curious what the seating on the plane would be like so I appreciate this video and the in depth look at everything else also as of now/recently. (Even though hopefully by almost Christmas this shit will be somewhat chilled out although I doubt it.) But compared to normal... empty airports and damn near empty planes ??? Paradise. Haha
I flew last Tuesday on American. There was no seating separation. We wore goggles and 2 masks. We wiped our seats,also There were more people on the airport than in the video(PHL to MIA). Safe travels. Be well.
We flew to Midwest on a Delta Embraer 190 - masks required - but you really can’t social distance on a plane that size. My friend and I were sitting next to each other but there was a woman directly in back of us and a man directly in front of us, but flight attendant told us we could move to vacant seats further back if we wanted with less people
Thank you for the video! I am flying from LAX to Las Vegas in two weeks using AA and Delta and wanted to see how well they are handling things. I wanted to ask where you got your mask? It looks like it keeps a tight seal and doesn’t fall off the face when speaking.
We return to the air for the first time in 3 days. Looking forward to traveling, but still a bit uneasy. Our choice is Delta. We left AA a few years ago and the service is so much better. Now Delta has proven itself to be a step above compared to AA and U. We even stepped down to Economy from C+, better rates and an open middle seat...win-win. MDT-DTW-MSP-FCA
I used to anticipate planes and airports were gonna be fairly empty and socially distanced. But nooo....not American Airlines planes and nooo not DFW! But it was fun. I'm glad we're all flying again. - Red
I flew American Airlines 2 days ago from California to Tennessee and the planes were full...no empty seats. On one of my flights I was seated next to a woman coughing her lungs up (literally) and she told me she just got over Covid....you can imagine my shock and dismay. We did wear masks during the flights, but the planes did not seem to be especially clean, just looked like they have gone back to their normal way of doing things. I usually fly Delta because I think they do more for their customers, even before Covid, but American was the only airline available for the time I needed to travel. The airports seemed to have opened up nearly 100% and I thought it was extremely busy for a Wednesday. I enjoy flying, but I'm a bit concerned at this time. I'll try to NOT fly anytime soon. Hopefully in the Spring when I must fly again things will be much better.
You’re B-roll footage is on-point. What program do you use to edit? I also posted a video on my experiences of flying during the pandemic between NYC, ATL, DEN, and Orlando airports about a week and a half ago.
Thank you for sharing your experience! Did you encounter any problems with being forced to do a 14 day quarantine when landing/arriving at destinations? Suppose to be flying out tomorrow and only out of state for 4 days but coming from FL to OK and back. Didn't know how the quarantining thing works when flying. Thanks again, and stay safe!
Did you feel OK to travel air filtration-wise? This is my biggest concern...and also that they are packing flights to capacity when the virus is rampant across the US 😳
I thought the air filtration seemed just fine, health-wise - but I am no expert. As for packing flights to capacity ... yeah, the thought of being on a full flight right next to a stranger is a dealbreaker for me. I was lucky that wasn't the case on these flights.
You can make your own with fabric, elastic, and a sewing machine. Just search it up on Google and you can print out templates and get instructions on how to do it. You can get fabrics with nice patterns on them anywhere on amazon
Awesome beautiful travel vlog my friend. like to see more videos. Greetings from Sri Lanka my friend. you are doing well. keep it up. give you best support sub, bell, like & comment. Stay connected each other for build up our channels.
Air travel isn’t going to be different for a “very very long time” as you state. This is temporary next year after the election things will go back to normal just follow the stats and you will quickly see people in our age group (you look to be about my age) are just fine. Cheers to 2021

It's been 3 months, how was it?
@@typicalpixel8228 absolutely terrible, it was stressful and he ended up passing. Now my moms bitter sister is throwing a fit.
@@StarrDarlingg Oh no, that's terrible!:( I'm so sorry for your loss. Hope you and your mom are doing well and your aunt calms down a bit.
Thank you this was very informative comparing between two airlines I fly with all the time. Much appreciated. Take care and be safe! 👍🏼

I've always had great experiences with Delta even before COVID
Great video. I'm from Atlanta the hometown of Delta. I appreciate the kind words regarding Delta.
People are not affected by plane exhaust.
@@heidiscott4363 Hi. I did not comment on plane exhaust. :(
Their business is very sketchy. They paid no taxes in 2018 yet got over 160 million dollars in tax rebate. Pure evil

It certainly depends on what day (and time) you go through the airport, but empty seems to be far more normal now.

I passed through MPS two weeks ago and the Delta Sky Club was a life saver. The lounge was clean and well needed at the time.
Thanks for sharing, have same experience flying in this pandemic times, it’s a historic experience for sure !

Glad it was helpful, Jamie! This mask is part of a set from Amazon that has sadly sold out since I bought it.
THANK YOU FOR THIS OMG
Thank you so much for this. Ima fly in 3 weeks and I need this

It's crazy how different & empty it is now!
Does it have to be an N95 mask or can be any mask? Some places are picky.
No requirement for N95 - any cloth mask or face covering should do. Delta has specifically said that masks with valves are NOT allowed.
This was very helpful. Can you also fly on United so we can see what that experience is like. 👍
Working on it!
Flying Delta to Amsterdam tomorrow. I hope it is clean and they do block the seats still.
Fingers crossed for a safe journey!
Thank you for making this video. Eternally grateful I dont need to fly anywhere.
Glad it was helpful!

What should be prepared to avoid the virus during the journey of the plane
Do they check travel history?
You’re B-roll footage is on-point. What program do you use to edit? I also posted a video on my experiences of flying during the pandemic between NYC, ATL, DEN, and Orlando airports about a week and a half ago.
Thank you super helpful !!

Suppose to be flying out tomorrow and only out of state for 4 days but coming from FL to OK and back. Didn't know how the quarantining thing works when flying. Thanks again, and stay safe!
There were no quarantine requirements in place in Minnesota (where we're from) or in Washington DC at the time of these flights, so no issues there.
@@thriftytraveler OK thank you! 😊 I'm heading to Oklahoma from Florida but it should be about the same. Thank you for replying and letting me know.
Was at MSP yesterday
It's a strange place these days...
It was actually quite busy when I was there
Out plane was like 90% full but granted it was a CRJ-900
I wonder whether any one traveled with all these precautions still got the infection after the air travel
Do you have to take a Covid test if your flying inside the U.S?
No, there are no current requirements for COVID testing just to fly. Some U.S. states require a negative COVID test for entry, though.
@@thriftytraveler Do you know if they are needed in either New Jersey or Texas?
Thanks for sharing. I will be flying from MSP to LAX.
I'd imagine your experience will look a lot like this one!
if you are flying with someone do you sit together?? due to covid and risking sitting next to a stranger
If you're flying an airline that blocks middle seats like Delta, you can request to be seated with a companion.
did they ask for any additional paperwork or covid tests?
Nope, nothing on that front has changed - at least not yet.
im from minneapolis an i love msp airport
That's why i pay the extra for delta, mhhmm *nods*.
Cool video.
Awesome very revealing and again very bizarre.
Do you need to take off your mask so they see if it's you on the picture of your ID
In most cases, yes.
Its not air port it’s now a ghost port
Did you feel OK to travel air filtration-wise? This is my biggest concern...and also that they are packing flights to capacity when the virus is rampant across the US 😳
I thought the air filtration seemed just fine, health-wise - but I am no expert. As for packing flights to capacity ... yeah, the thought of being on a full flight right next to a stranger is a dealbreaker for me. I was lucky that wasn't the case on these flights.
Did you know there was a virus before this while you were traveling before too? It’s fine take that flight...
helpful.
I love your mask, where did you purchase it?
It's from a pack on Amazon which has sadly sold out.
You can make your own with fabric, elastic, and a sewing machine. Just search it up on Google and you can print out templates and get instructions on how to do it. You can get fabrics with nice patterns on them anywhere on amazon
There's a similar one sold at old navy. I noticed his too LOL
eye scanning? wow..
We expect eye scanning like CLEAR to become much more common throughout the entire travel experience.
Thrifty Traveler sounds awful.
Title correction: * in the US
Awesome beautiful travel vlog my friend. like to see more videos.
Greetings from Sri Lanka my friend.
you are doing well. keep it up.
give you best support sub, bell, like & comment.
Stay connected each other for build up our channels.
Nice.
Hello myfriend hope we meet in person,hope you visit here in Philippines you are welcome here
I can't say anything about Delta but don't fly JetBlue New York
Why?
@@BBbizzle because they do not spaced out enough there was one person behind me that was coughing and sneezing the whole flight
Seems like every other video being posted is about what it's like to fly during the pandemic. Any other ideas?
If people are scared of the coronavirus then they need to get down on your knees and pray
Air travel isn’t going to be different for a “very very long time” as you state. This is temporary next year after the election things will go back to normal just follow the stats and you will quickly see people in our age group (you look to be about my age) are just fine. Cheers to 2021
Ok then!
Ghost in airport.
Handsome ❤️
I tried watching this but the narrator’s voice was too annoying to bear
Love you too.
Yes by all means buy that $5 water. Nobody there except the cops who make sure you're wearing your useless mask.
No kidding, the roads are worse than 9/11
Great video. Thank you!
