Chicago-based United previously exempted passengers with certain medical conditions from face coverings, but now passengers will have to contact the airline or speak to a representative at the airport if they believe they qualify for an exemption.
“The most important thing any of us can do to slow the spread of the coronavirus is to simply wear a mask when we’re around other people,” United Chief Executive Officer Scott Kirby said in a statement. Airlines have said that hospital-grade air filtration systems on planes coupled with face masks make air travel safe, despite the coronavirus pandemic that has crushed demand.
Poor kids. Kids touch their faces all the time , that makes masks inefficient.
It's about time they became 20% smart.
So let’s fly with BA instead
lol, good luck enforcing a two year old to wear a mask. These guys clearly don’t have kids.
...and every seat is full.
So why is my flight at 100% capacity? Called and was told as of July the airlines are “allowed” to book at 100%. This shouldn’t be happening.
they call it virtual interview for a people dont wanna wear a mask in flight , how the hell you are gonna catch covid patient with 5 stupid questions and screen them and let them in flight without a mask hun ? just 5 stupid question ?
