The demand for travel has plummeted due to the coronavirus pandemic. But as states reopen, more Americans may be thinking about flying again.
Many airlines like Delta have instituted stricter cleaning procedures and other measures, but you still may be wondering how safe it is to travel. A recent survey from travel resource site The Vacationer shows which airlines people trust the most to keep them safe from coronavirus.
Here are some key takeaways from the survey:
Let’s look at how survey respondents feel about safety on 10 popular airlines:

Money expert Clark Howard says that you can find travel deals right now, but whether you choose to travel or not depends on your comfort level.
In any case, if you do plan on traveling, he recommends you buy a “cancel for any reason” travel insurance policy.
“If the airline or whatever supplier you’re going to use does go bust, your money is protected by the insurance,” he says. “It’s an added cost, but trips are so much cheaper right now to book that it’s really not as big of an expense as it used to be to insure a trip.”
