There is, effectively, zero international travel right now.

It will be interesting to see how/when international returns.
With all the border closings and fact that covid is going to rage elsewhere in the world for a while I don't see it coming back soon.

It's almost like recent international travel caused some problems somewhere or something.

My house is under the approach to SeaTac, it has been eerily quiet, not to mention no traffic noise.

We were given spray bottles and a jar of chemtail juice and told to go forth.

United pulls lie-flat seats from all premium transcon flights - The Points Guy

If you're after a lie-flat seat for your essential trip, there are some options — just not on flights operated by United.

CN: United transcontinental flights that were run with 757, 777, 787 widebodies with lay-flat business class seats will be run with 737s for now. Thus only standard recliners. Sucks for business travelers, but then again who needs to travel at this time...
