The other option is if France reopen before USA (and AF resume some flight with China) is to transit by CDG (CDG have an international transit area, something not available in USA).

Delta and United are both doing cargo flights internationally. Many airlines have stepped up cargo flights with China recently.

Yeah, nothing looks promising at this point, I've been stressing endlessly. I've had my flight in May changed about 12 times in the last 2 months, and we thought 2 days ago our current flight plan wouldn't fail, until South Korea decided to change transit rules literally the day of she went in to hand in her application for a visa.
Now we are praying for a Shanghai flight since Incheon connections are out the window., otherwise we will have to scrape up money to get a $3,500 a pop one-way ticket to LAX. Her immigrant visa expires in June.

Only applies outbound from China to ICN onwards to a 3rd country, and Americans are exempt from all the restrictions. If you aren't coming from China, you would be ok to transit.

May changes https://news.delta.com/where-delta-flying-may
Some more cuts (like SEA-YVR going to 1x daily) but looks like they're trying to start service back up in C/S America second half of May. That's good news!

Wow, while eminently sensible of course, I'm still surprised to see not one transatlantic JFK destination operating in May.

TLV looks like 3x weekly (Tue Fri Sun) starting May 8. LHR starts May 7 (but no ops on May 8) and appears daily as the only JFK-LHR flight (no VS flights at all).

The current schedule shows DL JFK-LHR restarts May 4th (daily). VS JFK-LHR restarts May 18th (also daily). JFK-TLV restarts May 8th and is 5x weekly (Sun Tue Wed Fri Sat). It could be DL is not all that confident about these restarting and didn't mention them in the press release. Or it could just be because they aren't there at the beginning of the month.

That would be strange because the Apr 24 press release clearly identifies routes that will begin in the second half of the month. Either flights have not been taken out of the GDS, or Delta is monitoring demand and has tweaked schedules already.

Interesting article on DLs fleet parking plans. All of the A320s have now been temporarily parked which I can understand as they are one of the oldest fleet types DL has. Parking all of the 739s on the other hand (there are still 41 in active service according to planespotters.net) seems rather interesting as most are only around 5 years old and have plenty of life remaining.

Thats what I originally expected, but then I noticed there are still lots of 757 and A321s (both of which seat more than the 739) still flying. I dont understand why a route like MCO-ATL still needs to be all 757 with all the parks and tourist attractions closed.
