Planes are the cleanest now that they have ever been and are not as crowded as they used to be.
We flew to NC about a month ago to get out of the terrible wildfire smoke here in PDX. I agree with the bolded, but the underlined was not our experience. All legs of the trip (two planes there and back) were full flights.
Everyone wore masks, we stayed contained (as best as we could with an 11 month old), and we wiped down everything before we sat/touched things. It was a little anxiety-inducing, but honestly didn't feel that much more risky than going to the grocery store with a few local knuckle-dragging mouth-breathers who won't wear masks.
The part that makes it scary is that you're going to visit someone. Normally when you're going out, the risk is just to you (and others who are out, but obviously they've chosen to go out as well and assume that risk). I mean, yes - my parents said we could come escape to their house and they trust we've been handling ourselves safely (and we them), but I didn't really relax until we were all two weeks out from everything and still safe/healthy.
