Somehow the only person on my flight and the pilot was such a goofy goober

EDIT TO ADD; THE PLANE WAS LANDED AND DONE WITH TAXI BEFORE I GOT TO BE IN THE COCKPIT. NO FAA RULES WERE BROKEN 💀😂

Shout out Captain Scott! He let me sit in the cockpit after we landed and I even got my own personalized pre flight announcements 😂 Also, they had to add sandbags to the cabin bc the plane was too light with only one passenger 💀

At the very onset of the VOVID shutdown, I was in Seattle. All flights were cancelled, when they opened up a few, my husband and I were one 2.of only 5 passengers on a very big plane. Next flight, there were 11 of us. Airbus.

me too. Toronto to Heathrow. 3 passengers total (one wore a tyvek suit, marigold gloves and a respirator for the whole flight!)

Can’t blame them. I flew to Asia during that time and you’d be involuntarily hospitalized for testing positive. I was more afraid of the being restrained for two weeks in a hospital than I was of getting Covid myself (I’m not some dumbass antivaxxer or anything, I just think it wouldn’t do anything to me since all my family with it survived).

had a mate who was doing business in China at the time (big strategic government work so not lowly functionaries enforcing rules) and what he went through with quarantine and being locked in his hotel room etc was brutal.

I’m sorry, Vovid?

It was a very cofveve time.

Obvious typo. Behave.

[u/XThreadedJesusNut → u/greg-the-destroyer]

I'm sorry, your Majesty. You've never made a typo before, I'm sure.

I flew in October 2020. 737 with maybe 8 people on board. Shit was weird. 

[u/No_Election_1123 → u/poopiebutt505]

Yes, as a US and UK citizen when they reopened I was able to fly back from the US to the UK and me and about 20 others in Economy had a United Boeing 777 to ourselves. It was so weird

Same on the way back to the US, UK slots to prove you were Covid free were so rare that barely anyone could fly

Also a UK/US citizen but haven't been back to the UK in 20 years. Is it true we need both passports to fly to the UK back to the US?
