This is a terrible time for aviation - the industry itself, those who work in it, and those who fly.

The coronavirus pandemic has forced planes and their passengers to remain grounded as social distancing guidelines, travel restrictions, and border closures mean that travel demand is almost nil, aside from a few essential workers relocating to manage the crisis.

As many workers around the world enter their second month working from home, those who are used to traveling for work - or for fun - are likely getting cabin fever.

That's the inspiration behind a new set of backgrounds United Airlines just released for the video conference app Zoom.

The next time you're on a call from your kitchen table, living room, or home office, pop one of these backgrounds up and have fun looking forward to the next time you can fly. This crisis may be devastating across industries and lives, which makes moments of levity even more important.
