Wednesday, January 27, 2021 Greetings from cold and rainy Southern California! The temperatures dipped down into the high 30s yesterday and it even snowed in parts of Malibu. Crazy! Just like all of this week's travel news, including the stories highlighted in this newsletter's subject line. Read those stories and more here. FYI: If you get my Daily Travel Tip Newsletter then some of the stories will be familiar but not all. That's for sure. Medical-grade masks are now required on some European airlines. Will the US follow? For starters ... one of the big stories I've been covering is whether medical-grade masks will be required soon in the US? Lufthansa, Germany's largest airline, started requiring them (as have German shops and public transportation) last week and now passengers flying the national airlines of Austria, Belgium and Switzerland will have to wear them as well. Either a surgical mask, or FFP2/KN95/N95 mask — all “face coverings” or any other types of masks will be banned. I think that kind of policy is coming here to the US and so do other travel experts. Here’s the story.
