Yup.

My iPad just alerted me to a Bloomberg news story that Apple is planning to announce three new laptops in June. Why bother?

I don't regularly have to travel for work, and I can cut that back to zero if needed.

I need to travel by plane to visit family, but that is a couple trips a year.

All my other air travel is discretionary. There are plenty of interesting sites I can drive to to keep me occupied for the next few years. If the dire predictions of some here regarding the restrictions become reality, watch the global travel and major segments of the tourism industry go down the drain.
