I flew across the country for work last week – from Seattle to New York and back – within 24-hours. It’s one of those quick business trips that used to be routine, until COVID-19 hit, grounding flights and turning airports into ghost towns. 

While last weeks’ trip wasn’t my first since the pandemic started – it was the first time it felt like everyone else was back to traveling too. Lines for security checkpoints stretched and snarled through the terminal. Passengers stuffed into every seat on the plane and overhead bins were bulging.
