To keep travelers safe, San Diego International is taking extra precautions amid the pandemic.
“We have increased cleaning at high-frequency touch points, we have plexiglass screens at ticket counters, we have signage to encourage people to social distance,” Hall explained. “And also, in our seating, we have we have seat separators so people are not sitting within close distance of each other.”
Although air travel is down quite a bit compared to this time last year, things are starting to pick up at airports across the country. And despite the CDC discouraging non-essential travel, more people are expected to travel over the holidays. @nbcsandiegopic.twitter.com/vmeAsGUDyM Audra Stafford (@AudraStaffordTV) December 21, 2020
