Afraid to fly with unmasked passengers? Call your airline

DALLAS (AP) — Airlines say they are offering options — including refunds in some cases — for people worried about flying now that other passengers aren’t required to wear face masks.

However, the airlines aren’t providing many details. Customers could find themselves at the mercy of workers at airline customer-service centers.

Many people who will be flying in the next few weeks bought their tickets before a federal judge in Florida on Monday struck down the requirement to wear a mask in airports and during flights. That requirement, designed to limit the spread of COVID-19, was due to expire anyway on May 3.

United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby said his airline will be flexible with people who have a weak immune system or are concerned about mask-optional flying for any other reason.

“We are working with those customers ... to find another option, give them a credit, or if they just don’t ever want to fly again, (we are) actually willing to give them a refund,” Kirby told NBC.

American Airlines CEO Robert Isom said Thursday that the airline hasn’t fielded many refund requests yet.

A Delta Air Lines spokesman said customers who wish to cancel a trip should contact the airline. Decisions about how to handle those requests are made on a case-by-case basis, he said.

Southwest, Alaska, JetBlue, Spirit and Frontier did not reply to inquiries.

If masks work, why do they care if anyone else is wearing one?

Call your shrink. Cancel your cable.

Or put on a triple mask and stay home.

At least she'll listen,...

Hopefully...

Jesus. The question I would like to ask these masked wussies: “...so, when will you stop wearing masks?” 5 years from now? 10? 20? Never? How did so many people get used to breathing their own co2? I mean yeah, I’ve had to wear them flying etc. but usually below my nose....I still look in amazement at people wearing them snugly over their noses all day with no complaint. Boggles.

How about bringing smoking back on plane? Those that don’t like it can ask for non-smoking flights.

Wear a low cut top with no bra. Nobody will care about a mask. I suppose that could apply to men too these days?

If people are that worried they shouldn’t be getting on a plane.

Why not just leave your airline out of it and wear a mask if you want to.
