Phoenix Sky Harbor during COVID-19
Today marks my 7 year anniversary with a major airline right out Phoenix Sky Harbor. Although I wish circumstances were better, there has never been a day where I've seen the airport so empty, a ghost town. Due to COVID-19 we have dropped nearly 75% in revenue. In fact, most people think of the airpot as dangerous but when I go to work I only see other co-workers walking around, which is less than the grocery stores at this point. It's sad to see all the vendors and stores closed down. We all know this will take a while until things pick back up, months even. Until then we are all washing our hands, disinfecting everything we can, avoiding touching passengers boarding passes and remaining in high spirits. -

Food?
Everyone was starving at about 10 pm. There weren't any shops at the airport, and all we could get was water. Dinner came to me in a cheap plastic bag. There's this pot of instant noodles, two bottles of water, and a packet of sliced bread. -

Pudong, Shanghai airport, awaiting bus 2020
After the tiresome testings and form fillings, I was lead to the side doors of the airport, The blue banners mark different districts and areas in shanghai, and I followed the path towards my area: Minhang. In the waiting area, almost everyone had a facial mask on and showed no skin except for the face. Some passengers even wore a one-piece white "sheet cover", usually seen worn by hospital staff. -

One of Those International Students
As an international student, what we discussed recently is that if going home is a smart move. When the first case was found in U.S., people started to buy tons of foods, water, toilet paper,etc. I went to CVS to purchase mask to protect myself but the assistant told me that was sold out as soon as the news was reported. However, I seldom see people on the street with a mask. I saw many of international students went back home several days ago. But the way back home was not as easy as usual under this situation, they wore professional white clothes which can cover all aspects to not get the virus, and with professional glasses, N95 mask. I think the airport is dangerous so I decided not to go home. -

Cheap flights from Phoenix to Seattle!
Seattle was the first major hot spot of COVID-19 in the United States and continues to have high case reports. Airlines are still flying in and out of the major US airports including Phoenix and Seattle. These prices for March and April are ridiculously low. It's almost as though nobody wants to fly right now. -
