This is what we really should be talking about. There won’t be any good layover gouge on AMS, CDG, FCO and so forth if we can’t fly there. If the EU bans Americans Delta can’t possibly sustain service there. I hope Japan, S Korea or China don’t also ban US passengers due to rising COVID cases. We’ll be running out of places to for our wide bodies.

Not doing too well.
I believe new cases are up to 40,000 a day now.

AMS, CDG and LHR

All 3 in the last month. AMS and LHR in the last week. Wide open over there. Well, as wide open as it gets without the tourists... London had some carry-out only places but they are open for eat-in now. All open in AMS. Back to old hotel starting today or tomorrow, so I hear. Barbazon Palace location was too good for us. No masks anywhere except public trans either place. Hyde Park was wall to wall last Sunday.
Service nearly normal for crews. Don't know about for regular pax.
Go have fun!

The official EU travel restrictions document can be read here, along with the list of exempted groups (Healthcare, transport, diplomats, EU citizens and their immediate family members).

WRT to that chart, what are mask usage rules in Europe. Just curious.

As tailhookah mentioned, there’s full meal/beverage service on the asian routes but it is still fairly limited to what it was before. Most side courses have been whacked and your choices are limited to either chicken or pasta. First world problems I know

Ugh, I know...the Barbizon is so much better of a location. Sucks they're moving us back to the Nord...although that's probably not an issue for me anymore lol.

I'd be interested in seeing an overlay of the # of people actually being tested over the same time frame as well. To your question, I was in AMS last week and virtually noone had masks on. If you wear a mask, people assume you're sick and will stay away from you. As mentioned above, the only place I was required to wear a mask was on the ferry/public transit.
