They clean/sanitize everything to the extreme. Safer than going into a McDonalds. Sure. Challenge for BBF: Choose one: 1. Fly NYC to Chicago, or 2. Go get me a Snausage McMuffin, or 3.

American, United and Delta are fogging the cabins between flights. The air filtration system is the same used in hospital operating rooms, and the air is completely refreshed every three minutes. In other words, cabin air is completely exhausted and replaced every three minutes. People can decide for themselves, but those are the facts. Agree. That’s kinda why I said it. 28 minutes ago, Ridgewaycynic2013 said: Challenge for BBF: Choose one: 1. Fly NYC to Chicago, or 2. Go get me a Snausage McMuffin, or 3.

Bill from NYC Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Last year we went to Niagara Falls and stayed in Williamsville. We flew and rented a car at the airport. We are going back this month and I'm taking my car. I don't even know if Maid of the Mist is running, and sadly; I'm not sure how I fell about going on it. Does anyone know what they are doing? Are they running at all? Spacing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to WGRZ, the Maid boats started late June. Allowing 50% capacity on the trips. EDIT: Sorry, Gordon. ?

Are they running at all? Spacing? I went on the Maid of the Mist this past Sunday. It was so much fun! They are running one ship at a time so the wait time might be a little longer. We didn't have to wait that long. There were a good amount of people. The boat seems to be at 50 percent capacity but it's still pretty packed. Most people did not wear masks. Pretty much all people around Niagara Falls did not wear masks. And Honestly I could care less about people not wearing masks, as I barely wore mine. If I was really worried then I would of stayed home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Info Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) I flew in June from RIC-IAD-BUF and back the same way. They were all small jets with a single seat & double seat rows. I selected a single seat row for all flights. Flights were at ~50% capacity. Actually, I felt safer flying than walking into a Lowe’s/Home Depot. >90% of people were wearing masks in the terminals & on the flight. After that positive experience, I will be flying the same route again next week, first week in Aug, and home opener weekend. My parents & sisters live in/near Buffalo so can visit them even if game is closed to fans. I am interested to see if the airlines and airports maintain the same observance of masks & distancing In upcoming flights.

Rico Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Don't like flying regardless, but if I had to, I would no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddo Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Wouldn't have a problem with the flight - as pointed out, the filtration systems are very good on board. My 'issues' are with the getting to, and from the flight, which will undoubtedly require far more questionable interractions with people. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
