Is anyone actually flying AC domestic or international in these Covid-filled days?

Turns out everyone who wasn't at YOW this morning, is definitely now at YUL Intl with ten friends each.
They've just announced "anyone who leaves the lounge now, may have to wait up to an hour to be re-admitted, so we advise you not to leave until you're ready to go to your gate".

However, as soon as meal service is done it reverts back. The masking between sips thing seemed crazy to me, but I got called on it with an after-service cognac. That was in March though. They seem to have softened quite a bit in the summer on my flights, although only to a point. LH, who also have a government imposed mask mandate seem to have basically given up enforcing it now, at least on service to Central Asia, where upon landing no one is wearing masks anymore. I have a return NQZ-FRA-YYZ on Monday, we’ll see how it goes.

Wise words, because I've seen that exact behaviour "suggested" here on FT by people who want to circumvent the mask mandates. I was happy to see the FA's were onto that!

You can put them back on as much as you want afterwards, but any potential damage has been done by that point.

It really depends on the crew, I had flights where a guy next to me had a glass of wine for 5h in J in front of him with no mask.
Then some if its under you're nose go crazy.
But lately its been less restrictive.
Will see tomorrow on my YUL-BCN how it goes
