許多美國人計劃在這個即將到來的假期裡第一次旅行，但仍然擔心流感大流行期間的安全問題。下麵我們就來看看各大航空公司的清潔和社交疏遠政策，包括哪些航空公司在航班上提供了中間座位受阻的服務。

共同航空旅行要求

沒有聯邦**規定的社會隔離準則，航空公司在涉及COVID協議時都是自己的，但在整個航空公司中，它們都非常相似。其中包括：

• 要求所有乘客都戴口罩（兩歲以下兒童除外），只有在飛機上吃東西或喝東西時才能摘下口罩。登機前、整個飛行期間和下飛機期間，請在登機口佩戴口罩。你的口罩應該遮住你的鼻子和嘴，緊貼在下巴下麵。
• 在我們的登機口、售票處和行李提取區的地面上有六英尺長的標記。
• 簽署健康協議作為登機手續的一部分，確認您在過去72小時內沒有出現COVID-19癥狀。

在最好的時候，人們喜歡空的中間座位，但目前只有四家航空公司提供沒有中間座位的航班。然而，苦苦掙扎的航空公司一直在減少空置的中間座位航班，所以不要指望這些航班能持續。

另外，期待更多的飛行前COVID測試。美國航空公司、聯合航空公司、夏威夷航空公司和捷藍航空公司正在推出飛行前測試服務，使旅客能夠避免在某些目的地需要兩周的隔離期。以下是各家航空公司為使飛行更安全、更方便所做的努力。
