This is a matter of timing, 23 March is a big day within Europe, potentially 19 April in USA, so with a bit of patience there will be a time when this will become much easier. BA at least isn't striving to be the last airline to work this space and after a bit of a hiccup on day 1, we now have a clear list of places where there isn't a maskmandate.
