If I just want a discount they'll cancel my wife's companion discount code. Alaska's frequent flyer program sounds great but the way they administer it is a pain in the tushy.

Do you still have to test before flying? When is that going to go away?

molodyets

Huge Manatee

If he wears his cloth mask everything will be ok.

Backcountry

When will it be ok for you to travel again when sick?

DanSmith

5/26/22 11:31am

They were going to make me take a COVID test in Mexico to return.

Sorry, man. Bummer about your trip.

The rule is 4 covid tests so you're good.

Kauai

5/26/22 11:25am

Just go on your trip.

DanSmith

5/26/22 11:25am

Should be good if he wears an N95 on the plane right?

Huge Manatee

5/26/22 11:25am

N95 is good at protecting you

WorfoSAUR

5/26/22 11:26am

They circulate the air pretty well in the cabin

Huge Manatee

5/26/22 11:30am

Cabin air is filtered at N95+, something the policy makers seem to overlook.

Or two cotton mask

if he goes, won't he get stuck there b/c will fail the COVID test when he tries to fly back home?

Oh no stranded in a tropical paradise

DanSmith

5/26/22 11:33am

A: maybe he doesn't have extra PTO to spare. B: Cabo? Tropical paradise?

LiveCoug

I’ve never been I have no idea

DanSmith

5/26/22 11:35am

It's.... Not tropical

LiveCoug

5/26/22 11:40am

Ok. Pics look pretty cool though.

DanSmith

5/26/22 1:15pm

Just get a doctor's note and he doesn't have to test

Huge Manatee

5/26/22 11:33am

You just give medical attendant a $20 and they will fix it. yes really.

BYU Grounds

5/26/22 11:41am

Transmission is rare on planes. Id go.

Backcountry

5/26/22 11:32am

But getting back....

LiveCoug

5/26/22 11:33am

They'd already made clear you had to test negative in Cabo to get back.

We can only assume you don't realize there are immunocompromised people

Mitty

5/26/22 12:01pm

If there are unvaccinated people who haven't gotten omicron in America

Huge Manatee

5/26/22 12:08pm

Do you exhibit the same level of caution in all aspects of your life?

DanSmith

5/26/22 1:19pm

Those people should probably avoid air travel. Its irrational to expect

Backcountry

5/26/22 5:06pm

what are the financial policies here? do airlines and hotels still charge 100%?

They don't test to get into Mexico or to leave the US

BYU Grounds

5/26/22 11:34am

BIL same situation right now, but we are all headed to Cancun. He’s about 7 days

Trent

5/26/22 12:49pm

Glad he can go. I did find out that apparently you can fly back through Tijuana

byujdmba

5/26/22 1:16pm

Yep, this is the workaround. No testing driving across the border. Adds hassle,

Trent

I just had a patient tell me today her and adult daughter had 2 positive tests to leave.
