      Just add, my flight home was also surreal, an NWA 747 with less than 30 people on it.. via MSP. Of which 3 were people of colour travelling together.. the Crew separates them and to window seats, with passengers placed across the 3-4-3. SFO was surreal.. it was like a Sunday 3am supermarket...completely empty.
