They finally made it to banning cross border travel for us. Maybe all travel is tomorrow.

Wife's conference in Toronto got cancelled. American wants to charge a $200 change fee. Hopefully Amex pulls through?

I have to go to San Francisco in 2 weeks. What are the odds that Lyft will pick me up from/take me to the airport. I do not plan to mention that my destination is to work in an infectious disease center for 3 days

I think you already know this, but nobody knows what this looks like in 2 weeks. Planning travel right now is kinda stupid. It doesn't even matter what the real risk is in these terms, it's about what the reaction is/may be. Seems like a really good way to get jammed up.

So what you're telling me is the fact that I've got a new gig starting in early April which has a game plan of having me travel to BOS for the first three weeks and then the 2-4 trips per month to visit clients may not work out as planned?

United and Delta have both sent me emails saying that they'll refund all flights if you want to bail edit: reading the email more closely it says they're providing "flexible waivers" and idk what that means

Good point and understandable, but I still have to work one way or the other and I’m a serial planner, so I’ll probably just book a car.

Going to the NY Auto Show next month seems unlikely. I'm 80% sure it'll get cancelled so I haven't even booked travel yet, but who knows. Still have a thing in Monterey next week and then Munich the week after though.

Attending a 800+ person company meeting this week with confirmed cases in the airport, schools, and downtown office buildings around here. I'm gettin' coronavirus y'all! No official company stance on canceling travel, but can't travel if you are quarantined!

Somebody brought the 'rona to our DC office so that's shut down and my week-long training got canceled. Client service never sleeps though so I'm still going to MSP weekly. The ATL airport was spooky empty yesterday morning.

The emails corporate is sending out are actually commendable in how much fake caring is packed into them. "Your and our clients safety is our biggest concern all the way up until it means we might start losing revenue, so get on that plane to the hotzone bitch" basically

I had an iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods charging station I liked but it didn't hold up well under travel and it also doesn't fit the AirPod Pros. Curious if anyone had any recommendations for a good travel-friendly one?

Looking much less likely that even the mini-vacation to Vegas later this month isn't happening. Or the May trade show (I figured it'd get canceled at some point). Or the June trade show. Wonder if I can still go on my vacay in May. It isn't to a hotel, so we could still isolate, but I'd have to travel via air. However, post Chapter 11 the turn-around CEO for Boeing will be a good signal to load up some BA stock.

I got on the plane to RDU and the lady from Duke called me at 10pm telling me not to come to the visit I was expecting to do at 10am. IDGAF, I’m here I’ll try to do it and if they don’t want me to, whatever, I’ll go home

I work in ops/manufacturing consulting so yeah no end in sight to the travel. Due diligence projects have taken a hit as PE firms aren't eager to move assets with the economy being shaky, but implementations are going strong.

Audi cancelled the Munich thing on Monday but didn’t bother telling me, so after Monterey next week that’s it for my travel schedule. For all the bitching I do about having to travel, I think I will miss it.
