Project Name: Modern Traveling Location: Denver Date: 09/01/2021 Segment: Focus Groups So, we're at a time of the year when many people start thinking about travel for Thanksgiving and Christmas. If you could, please tell me what concerns you have about traveling over the next few months. It could be concerns about anything. No one just tell me what concerns them about traveling over the next few months.   I'll start, we were fully vaccinated in our house, but I am high risk and I am sick and I'm COVID-19 Positive and it is absolutely horrible. So yeah, it's keeping me out of the hospital, but it's just showing that it is real and the vaccines are keeping people out of the hospital. So, when it comes to traveling, I know there's going to be more spikes, I know where people are going to get it. I mean, they took out like I said, two of us in my house that are vaccinated. So that's kind of scary because I just want this thing just to end and not to continue in the same cycle and now we're going to throw flu and everything else in there just seems like it's a never-ending cycle.   Got it. Okay, thank you. What other concerns do you have about travel over the next few months? Anybody else?   Really don't have any concerns. I've traveled through this, I am vaccinated. I also have a compromised immune system. I just try and follow the precautions and life's too short. I mean, we got to live it. That's.   Okay. Anybody else have any other concerns about travel during the holidays? No?   I don’t travel. So, I don't have any concerns.    Okay.    I want to add one more thing. The other concern would be when you're watching Southwest Airlines continuously cutting flights and that just seems to be more and more of and other airlines doing the same, that if we were traveling via flight, getting stranded someplace for having flights cut or whatever would happen having it, the harder to get back.   Got it? All right. Thank you. Sure. No concerns about travel?     No, I think I've been traveling consistently regardless, and I haven't had any issues. So, I think it's perfectly fine.   Okay, Brady, what about you?   I don't think anything's changed with airline travel throughout COVID, other than just wearing a mask.   Okay.    [END OF GROUP 1] [START OF GROUP 2]     So, we're in a time of year when many people are starting to think about travel for things like Thanksgiving and Christmas. If you could, please tell me what concerns you may have about traveling over the next few months. It can be concerned about anything related to travel. Anybody? Who has concerns about travel over the next few months? Can you do what?    I was pregnant? That's about it?  [LAUGHTER]   Congratulations.    Thanks.    All right, any other concerns? Stewart, do you have concerns?    Well, there are still uncertainties [LAUGHTER]. Things are not stable and, if you really want to be assured, I have family members that are freaking out about this pandemic. And even outside, you can't even stand 6ft away. You got to stand 12ft away. I mean you can't control other people in airports and places. So, you got to do what you feel comfortable, that you're willing to accept because you can't control anybody else.   Okay.     [CROSSTALK], are still a concerned and just the accommodations for travel, like the hidden story tonight on the news about the Southwest Airlines dropping so many flights and speculation which had something to do with this mandate for the pilots to get vaccinated although they said that wasn't really the case so, but yeah, just like, it's not as plentiful, as it used to be just made travel plans- Okay. -Just due to this situation.   Got it. Okay. By show of fingers, how many of you would say you have no concerns at all about travel? Personally? No concerns whatsoever about travel. All of you have concerns about travel.   I’m hoping that COVID-19 restrictions don't prevent my daughter and her fiancé from getting to Texas from Kansas. They're traveling by car versus plane, because it's least less expensive for them and they can, they have to get down here and rent a car and do all that. So, it was last year they had to isolate once they got back to Kansas, pass state requirements, and because of their job, [INAUDIBLE] jobs, they have.   Okay. Got it. And, anybody else? What are the concerns do you have? You didn't have concerns and nobody raised their hands? So, everybody has concerns. What other concerns do you have?    There's going to be another search-    Okay.   -searching for cases, only half the country is vaccinated, they say.   All right. [LAUGHTER]  Got it. Okay. Just by show of fingers. How many of you are vaccinated? So, five are, Shamika[ph] you're not vaccinated.    No.    And Stewart, you're not?    This time, No.    Okay, got it. All right.
