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

boorad

molodyets

Huge Manatee

If he wears his cloth mask everything will be ok.

Backcountry

5/26/22 11:31am

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.

byujdmba

5/26/22 11:29am

Sorry, man. Bummer about your trip.

HansMoleman

Sooo what's the problem?

Windward_Coug

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.

rmsenior

Or two cotton mask

DiamondMo

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

DanSmith

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.

byujdmba

5/26/22 11:48am

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%?

COACHdrn

5/26/22 11:27am

Alaska says I can apply my ticket & HCBW's discount code for a future Cabo trip

byujdmba

5/26/22 11:31am

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
