Human: I'm flying to visit family this Thanksgiving and I'm wondering what pandemic-era precautions the airlines and airports might be taking that I should prepare for.

Assistant: I can’t talk much about airline specifics, but here are some general guidelines:  

- Plan for social distancing, which means maintaining a 6-foot or more distance from other people.

- Have lots of hand sanitizer with you to reduce contact with surfaces.

- Wear a face mask on planes and in airports. 

- Avoid any hugging, touching of faces, or close contact with anyone if you have a cough or other symptoms of Covid-19.

Assistant: There are a lot of new restrictions around COVID, so I'm not sure how much I can tell you.  I can see that Delta just had a change in their COVID rules last week, and Southwest and Alaska also recently announced new measures.  Many airlines are going to require travelers to book tickets in advance, though it might not be clear how soon.  It’s probably also a good idea to check the website of the airport you're flying into, to see if there are any restrictions on that specific airport.
