"In these times of , many travelers are concerned for safety. This week, I flew with Delta, not only because I am a loyal SkyMiles Member, but also because I know they have been very proactive about the safety of staff & passengers.
Here is a rundown of my travel experience:
When I arrived at LGA, the airport was clean, with plenty of hand sanitizer stations & mask supply stations throughout. Lines were socially distant, everyone at LGA had masks on, & all passengers on my plane were pleasant & wore masks.
The seats were not at full capacity to allow space between each passenger, & boarding started with the back of the plane first to prevent congestion & promote social distancing.
When I boarded, the Flight Attendant handed me a sani-wipe that I used to wipe down my armrest & TV screen/tray table/etc.
Food and drink service has been adjusted to avoid any re-purposed items (cups, etc). The airline staff wore fresh gloves & handed out pre-wrapped packages of snacks, a bottled water, & a one time use packet of hand sanitizer.
The only time anyone removed their mask on the flight was to eat/drink.
As for the cabin air, all Delta aircraft are ventilated with fresh, outside air & any air that is recirculated passes through high-grade HEPA filters, which extract more than 99.99% of particles, including viruses - such as coronavirus.
Delta has increased its regular cleaning program while adding a sanitizing process ā often used in healthcare settings ā to disinfect aircraft interiors. After each flight, crews use electrostatic sprayers to sanitize aircraft interiors from floor to ceiling w/ a high-grade disinfectant. Cleaning crews then perform extensive manual cleaning procedures to wipe down cabin surfaces: seats, consoles, seat-back screens, windows, doors, lavatories.
