Looking at the absolute peak winter season in the second half of December between New York and Los Cabos:

There will be up to 25 weekly flights in each direction
There will be up to 4,322 weekly seats in each direction

United will operate 9x weekly Newark to Los Cabos flights with 737-800s (154 seats per plane)

American will operate daily New York JFK to Los Cabos flights with 737-800s (172 seats)

This is not normal:

"As a point of comparison, previously there were two weekly seasonal flights, with a total of 308 seats.

That represents up to a 1,250% increase in the number of flights, and up to a 1,400% increase in the number of seats."

Airlines are trying to make up for lost business flyers.

I bet the seats are cheap, cheap, cheap.

NYC: greatest city in the world!

Personally, I would not fly in a tin can for 6 hours with 150 strangers shoulder-to-shoulder in December and January and risk covid-19,...
December, long air flight, can you say respiratory disease transmission?
I always get a cold flying Long flights in winter...

I've taken many flights in the last couple months.

No issues. Wear your mask and wash your hands and you'll be fine.

On the morning news there was a report that airlines are now pushing for quick result testing prior to getting on flights. That would increase my confidence, but for the time being this old gal will drive where she wants to go.
