@Have An Upvote, I’m not sure about that but I know that a commercial airliner turned around after takeoff because two people refused to wear masks like a week ago. So I wouldn’t doubt it.
-
@Have An Upvote, Delta literally turned a flight around and went back to the airport because a passenger took their mask off and refused to put it back on
-
@Have An Upvote, flew back last week with AA and you needed a mask to get on and it was inforced. They didn't give details of what would happen, but as the others have said if they turn the flight around that's a lot of money the airline loses so I'd guess they'd look at a ban
-
@Have An Upvote, if you refuse to wear a mask you will be banned from Delta Air Lines. Not messing around.
-
@Have An Upvote, just finished flying back cross country for necessary family stuff, AA enforced mask, except for brief period to eat or drink, and said something to the effect that failure to comply could result in not being allowed on future flights. I interpreted it as they wouldn't let you continue your trip (connecting flights) if you didn't comply, not permanent blacklisting. So maybe slight embellishment with a grain of truth!
-
@tannerdjones92, related note, planes are packed and social distancing is impossible to enforce, would recommend avoiding flying anytime soon if possible!
-
@Have An Upvote, I talked to an airline pilot who told me that if someone was being unruly that he would tell them to stop or they would get banned, but it wasn't true. He would lie to passengers to get them to behave. That was before Corona virus though, and diverting aircraft is a big deal. I wouldnt be surprised either way.

@Have An Upvote, as an ohionin from Cleveland can confirm
-
@tannerdjones92, planes really aren’t packed at all. Every flight I’ve been on since this started has had at the most 20% capacity on their planes. Everyone had their own row to sit in
-
@Depressed Cashier, im sure it varies quite a bit depending on destination and airline, but that wasn't my experience this weekend. Had 4 flights and the least full of the 4 was about 80%. One of them was full and overbooked and left several standbys at the gate. Im in the south where everyone thinks its all a government conspiracy tho, so that could have something to do with it.

@Have An Upvote, My girlfriend has flown twice now in this madness and she says its pretty secure, well sanitized. She’s a nurse so I’ll take her word for it. It was american airlines both times in case someone was wondering
-
@Miss Leading, flown twice on AA also and had my own row and row behind me was also empty, had to wear masks and seemed sanitary.

Odds of catching covid on a 2 hour flight: 1 in 4,300. Do what you will with it.
My sister flew to Ohio the other day with her husband. Said they had very strict mask policies to the extent that if you didn’t follow them they’d ban you from flying with them ever again. She’s known to embellish the truth from time to time. Can anyone verify?
