Based Calipede here, work for major US airline. Not advocating for socialist bailout. Just saying, good time to fly now; dirt cheap fares, empty airports and cabins, great service. Support our US carriers while ChiCom and Arab carriers are eternally subsidized by local governments. Go somewhere awesome for cheap without the crowds. Fuck this lockdown

I bought a ticket to use in late June early last week. As soon as I get the idea this is easing up a tiny bit I'm immediately planning at least one more domestic trip or a couple long weekend trips, with my intent for them to be before my overseas trip in September. That trip is also booked through an American carrier and is to visit our good freedom loving friends in Poland, it's even at expensive pre-apocalypse prices. I may even look to book some travel for 2021 soon since you can go about 12 months out. All of us that can will need to jumpstart the economy quickly with capitalism!

One thing to note if anyone is like me and likes to travel but is bothered by the uncertainty--most of the carriers are offering change fee waivers on flights you book now. The flight I booked in June is no risk to me. Even if I decide it's better to not make that trip I can use those $ on another trip later with no penalty. I'm going to travel (or be killed off by something first).

You nailed it, change fee waivers 'til EOY or even thru next summer for some carriers. Great time to book travel.
