I'm Alexander, a world traveler and youtuber from the United States
like many of you the Coronavirus Pandemic has flipped our world upside down
2 months ago I was living on the other side of the world in Bali Indonesia
but by the end of March I was suddenly forced to evacuate Bali and fly home to the United States
we're now living in uncertain times
where rules and regulations are changed day by day
fortunately this week I received a unique opportunity to work in California for 1 week
this however was something that could not be done remotely due to the job requirements
so i'm going to take this opportunity to show you what its currently like to fly in the United States
it is a chilly chilly morning here in Baltimore right now
So I am at Baltimore International Airport right now and
it's very strange, very strange to be here right now because
I haven't been to the airport in two months now
Last time I was at the airport was when I was flying from Jakarta Indonesia
to the United States
if you guys haven't seen that video I will link it right above guys
and down in the description below so you guys can check that out
but there were two things I noticed specifically
there were no temperature screenings and
or any screenings at all for that matter
and the only thing that they screened for was where i was flying in from
so I'm very curious to see how much has changed
self-checkin only
so i just went to security that was by far the fastest security I've ever gone through
only took literally three minutes since i've gotten into the airport
so, wow
looks like they only have one terminal open
which is where all the Southwest Airline flights are coming out of
and
only two food options
you either have Chick-fil-a or McDonald's
two of the largest fast-food chains in the United States
so I mean what are you gonna expect?
well just as expected the airport is
fairly empty considering it's an international airport
but so far no screenings, no temperature readings
it seems
pretty normal but very eerie at the same time
if that makes any sense
on a more positive note
it's just myself
and
currently three people on the flight
however on the other side
is the flight to Tampa Florida
and there's probably like 50 people on that flight
eh 40 (people)
you guys know why there was nobody at that gate?
it's cause i was at the wrong gate
alright off to San Diego
alright so we landed just 10 minutes ago
in San Diego now, I have apparently a
three or four hour layover actually I thought it was only gonna be an hour
quick recap
it's been two months since I flew and
you know you get those butterflies when you take off because
it's been so long, it feels like it's been so long actually
but it's really not
if you think about it I've been
I usually am on a plane at least every 30 to 60 days anyway
so two months isn't really that long if you really thinking about it
but
yeah, butterflies going up
for the first time in a while and a bit weird
it's a little bit weird
now im going to try to find some food hopefully if anything is open here
San Diego i've noticed is a little bit busier though
then Baltimore was this morning so
a bit more people traveling here then there was in Baltimore
Cashier: may i see your ID please?
I've been traveling Asia for so long I forgot that they card you for
the beer
cause you gotta be 21 to drink here
so about an hour ago when I landed here
this whole terminal
the whole area in this terminal was
pretty busy actually
there was a good amount of people, not that much allowance for social distancing
so
deciding I'm gonna go ahead and
oh my god
wait for this
so i'm gonna go ahead and get some work done for the next hour or two
I still have 2 hours basically till my flight boards to San Francisco
and yeah, we'll wait til then
well after two hours looks like there are not that many flights out
left out of San Diego
only about a dozen left
looks like
and the airport has completely emptied out
so there's just only about a few people here in the terminal waiting for the last few flights out of here
alright welcome to San Francisco my first time here
but so far
amazing airport very beautiful here it's just the shame that I have to be here
under some circumstances but
everything is closed down, temporarily closed
empty
nobody here in the airport at all
I mean besides the passengers
now you know what did happen which was kind of weird is when i stepped on the plane
from San Diego to San Fransisco
the flight attendant asked me, no pictures on the plane
and i'm fine with that, I'm not taking pictures obviously
it's just weird
Wow
look at the bag claim here
it's like a ghost town, holy crap
alright well that was a surprisingly pleasant trip
no issues whatsoever
and to answer your question
nothing has changed since I came from Jakarta Indonesia to the United States
still no preventive measures, still no temperature checks or anything of that sorts
it's everything as usual except for
everyone is required to wear face coverings in the airport
as well as the planes
specifically Southwest because I flew them today
but yeah so i'm going to go ahead and grab a taxi, head in town
