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.

the rane in Spane falls manely on the plane...
I am more scared of the masked people.
So they’re saying that the mask they are wearing doesn’t work. DLib logic...
How about masked and unmasked sections. Seat masked in the rear, let them board first. Put up a temporary plastic barrier. Board the unmasked. Easy peazy.
I’ve sailed twice on Mariner of the Seas, eastern Caribbean and western Caribbean. It was a great ship. Enjoy your cruise!
Planes are ALL full. Barely a person with masks.
Only democrats are whining about masks and they’ve been pathetic for quiteva while.
They should allow cancellations but the credits can only by applied to psychological sessions to fix their mental state.
I did not know cruise ships allowed animals?
And what if I don’t want to be exposed to the toxic bacterial soup being brewed inside the masks of delusional leftists and expelled through the holes in their masks with every breath?
I knew it was a lib news service by the tone.
Did they offer refunds when they started requiring masks? I’ll bet they didn’t.
More fake science (modelling study..... as weak of evidence as it gets). “We examined the efficacy of each measure and the combination of both measures using an agent-based model within a closed space that approximated real-life interactions.”
If YOU are afraid of caching something from me, then YOU need to cover up, not me.
Adjective correction.
Amen
Afraid to fly with unmasked passengers - take a hike 🤪
Easy solution for the paranoid bunch - just double-mask - you’ll make up for us freedom-lovers.
He did not talk about that specifically, but the fact they were told to leave the area after a half hour and change masks gives me the impression that was a concern.
