[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not expect my parents to travel during a pandemic, no matter what their vaccination status.

And if I were the grandparents, I would not want my little unvaccinated grandchildren to travel during a pandemic either.

Combine that with what is probably going to continue to be really difficult air travel for the foreseeable future.

It's best to just do zoom until the kids are vaccinated. It would be different if the grandparents were local and there was no plane travel involved. [/quote]

+1 to all this.

OP seems unaware of the nightmare that air travel can become very quickly these days. A friend's routine flight home from a trip turned into an extra two and a half days, scrambling to find a hotel room unexpectedly, scrambling to find a rental car (didn't happen, all rentals gone) etc. Neither the grandparents, nor OP with young children, should be risking that kind of clusterf#@k and yeah, that risk is real. And likely to be around for a while. That only adds to the stress of covid plus travel.

This PP has it right. I also wouldn't expect my parents to travel (regardless of vaxx status) nor would I travel with unvaccinated kids. Be grateful that at least there is technology to bring people a bit closer together. Use that technology. Stop making this about how they "don't want" to see you. They don't want to get even a breakthrough case of covid (which can be nasty) nor do they want or need to be at the mercy of some airline with staffing issues. [/quote]
