The airport and planes were fine, flew to the West Coast, paid more for a direct flight. The problem was the drive back to the Villages on the airport shuttle. There was a man coughing and hacking away the entire trip home. We asked the driver to open windows to get fresh air circulation and he said NO. We asked this man to put on a mask, he said he couldn't cough with a mask on and said it was just a cold. He flew back from LA. We were all very uncomfortable. We self quarantined and both came down with a fever, cough, the runs, were totally exhausted and ached all over. Our dr. said to stay home unless things got worse. It took almost 3 weeks to feel OK again. My point here is, the plane and airport were fine, the ride from airport to the Villages was not. Rent a car at the airport for 1 day and drop it off the next day here in the Villages, it costs about the same or less and is much safer. We will do that next time.
