From deserted terminals to empty planes, this is what it's like to fly in the US during the coronavirus outbreak
Avery Hartmans/Business InsiderMany passengers were wearing masks too: I'd estimate that 50% of the people I saw at JFK had masks on. But I noticed multiple people exposing themselves to germs in other ways.
One woman wearing a mask was asked to take her passport out of its case, so she pulled her mask down to put the case in her mouth while she handed the passport to the TSA agent. I also saw a family of three all wearing masks pull them off in order to share what was left of a water bottle before putting their bags on the conveyor belt.
In general, tensions seemed high at the airport. One TSA agent yelled at someone in line to cover their mouth when they coughed, while another passenger got immediately angry with an agent who asked her to take off her shoes. Terminal 4 is massive — it covers about 2 million square feet — and it was a long walk to my gate. It wasn't until I walked for about 10 minutes that I saw a hand sanitizing station.Thankfully, I'd brought my own travel-size bottle that my fiancé and I had been using every time we touched something at the airport. But as hand sanitizer has become harder to find in stores, I would have appreciated more available dispensers throughout the airport.
