People are more concerned about COVID when flying than they are buying beer, possibly. Certainly a beer commercial can have a different tone than what you find at airports in these times. I'm not sure they should lean into it.
That said, NYT did a fantastic job visualizing how air circulates on planes and it made me feel safer about flying:

You can’t hide smoke as easily as invisible stagnant air. https://www.traveller.com.au/reader-letters-visiting-parliament-a-shambles-gs3vds https://www.traveller.com.au/reader-letters-visiting-parliam...
