I don't know.
I have also been flying purely for pleasure an average of 40-50 sectors per year, and after four months without a flight, I have taken to it again.
I had my first two flights last week (by the way, both were full), and until the end of this summer season I have twenty more already booked. I just hope they won't be cancelled by the airlines.
