Obviously, UA has SFO (more restrictive), IAH (less), ORD (more, I think), EWR (more). In any event, I agree with a previous poster that if folks are being compliant with wearing masks (above their nose) and washing hands, I feel pretty good. If they are not, then I'm nervous about flying. Thanks for those that replied.
I would not worry too much about the flight experience, especially if you use goggles or face shields along with normal precautions like minimizing toilet visits. Seating areas are better ventilated than most indoor spaces, with filtered high-volume inside and atmospheric air the norm. It is your movements in ground transit through transit, security, dining/waiting, and boarding corridors that can bring more contact with asymptomatic carriers, including new traveling companions. Gatherings at your destinations involve separate risks.
