Yes I heard planes as well surprisingly safe relative to choir practice. Environments where lots of droplets are created are less safe...

My understanding is that planes have very effective air filtration and movement systems. Choir practice likely would not, and involved people generating aerosols continuously.

I wonder how safe it is to queue at an airport, walk to the plane on a ramp among 100 yawning, coughing others, and reverse that process on the other side.

It may negate the safety of the actual airplane trip, or it may not.

planes have two things going for them: good air circulation with filtration, and mask-wearing is well enforced.
