Flying soon? Check out the latest mask policies for 11 US airlines

Tuesday, August 11

Air travel: In spite of all the precautions now in place, Khabbaza said flying offers the most potential for exposure to the coronavirus, because of the nature of how planes are configured. "Once you're in the cabin, you don't know who's on the plane," he said. "You're in relative closer proximity to people you don't know." Still, he said, flying is safer than it was earlier in the pandemic because of the changes airlines have made. "It is as safe as they can make it," Khabbaza said. In addition to spacing and sanitizing, he said face masks add an extra layer of protection from the virus. Most U.S. carriers now require passengers to wear them.
