People who are afraid of flying with passengers without masks, some airlines may offer them a refund.

Travel + Leisure reported:

One week ago, a federal judge in Florida voided the federal transportation mask mandate and most airports and major airlines in the United States dropped masking requirements. But not everyone may be comfortable taking to the skies without knowing their fellow passengers are masking up.

"For customers like that, that are immunocompromised or that have other concerns or issues… we are working with those customers if they really don't want to fly," he said, adding, "if they just really don't ever want to fly again, [we're] actually willing to give them a refund."

Along with United, other airlines that may offer refunds include American, Southwest, Alaska, Delta and others. Some are on a case-by-case basis.
