Effective Immediately: Alaska Airlines, United, Delta, American, and Southwest also announced masks are optional on their U.S. flights, effective immediately.

With a federal judge in Florida striking down the national mask mandate for airplanes and other public transportation on Monday, Alaska Airlines was among the first to announce wearing face coverings onboard their aircraft is now optional.
Several other airlines, including United, Delta, American, and Southwest also announced masks are optional on their U.S. flights, effective immediately.
As airlines and airports ditch the mask requirement, however, officials with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention continue to recommend that people wear masks while taking public transportation.
Are you ready to go mask-less on airplanes/trains/buses? Do you think you’ll see more people still wearing them or going without?
