In the midst of Chicago's most brutal January cold and knowing that March brings its own kind of misery to the Midwest, Mary Fabianski made plans to spend a week in early spring on Florida's beaches with family.
She booked a flight to Sarasota on United Airlines for $488 roundtrip on Jan. 22, before the pandemic started affecting travel in the U.S. But as it got closer to her March 29 travel date, Mary suspected the trip might not happen. Still, she didn't cancel her plans right away.
