Getting on a plane? 5 travel tips during Covid-19 — and the safest place to sit

"We cannot shut down the world." As I hopped on and off planes all over Europe and the Caucasus, I couldn't agree more with this statement by the World Health Organization (WHO). Borders are closing, but the spread of the novel coronavirus between countries is rapid and increasingly unpredictable. So — what to do when, like me, you're currently far from home and in the middle of your trip? How to deal when passing through crowded airports or strapped to your airplane seat wit
