skies are now parked in the california desert, row after row, with thousands more grounded elsewhere. last year the aaa said 43 million americans went somewhere on memorial day weekend. this year the aaa isn't even making a guess as to how many people will hit the road. >> you need to make your way from the valley to the west side wide open. >> reporter: but they're expecting it to be an all-time low. travel will bounce back, but for now it's just inching back. and your experience won't be nearly the same. let's start with your hotel. travel if you check back in will have a much different stay says hilton c.e.o. chris nasetta. a he here's your experience, peter, close your eyes and get ready. so, you'll go to your room were your digital key. you won't have to touch anything other than your phone. you'll open your room with your phone. >> reporter: and the room will have been cleaned like never

before. masked housekeepers will pay special attention to things like light switches and tv remotes. and when they're done, they'll put a seal on the door. >> when a housekeeper is done cleaning the room, we will seal it and you will be the first one in it and we will not come in it until you leave or you ask us to come back in it. >> reporter: and now to the skies. >> in order to promote social distancing, we will be conducting general boarding from the rear aircraft. >> reporter: air travel has dropped by as much as 90%. united airlines is now flying fewer passengers per day than it has pilots. >> hand sanitizer? >> reporter: but for those who are flying, the experience is different, and not necessarily in a good way. food service aboard is mostly gone. and if you've got to go, one european airline, ryan air, is making passengers raise their hands for permission to use the lavatory. that's not the case for u.s.

carriers, yet. but there is an entirely new disinfecting program. >> the plane will have been thoroughly cleaned prior to me getting on, and then we're not going to be mixing salad at my seat, are we? >> importantly, you won't have a mixed drink at your seat which may be more of a concern for many. >> reporter: oscar munoz is executive chairman of united. i'm assuming no more pillows on the planes for a while, no more blankets on the plane for a while. >> things of that nature. you saw that after 9/11 we took out cutlery. things will eventually come back. once again, in this particular case, once a vaccine is discovered, hopefully, you know, sort of the nervousness dissipate and we can get back to something that's back to the old normal. things will definitely change. >> reporter: like other airlines, united already has systems in place to make flying safer. better cleaning of seat backs and trey tables. and things like electro static sprayers to disinfect every nook and krany.

cranny. but social distancing is pretty much impossible on a plane. united was called out a few weeks ago when a passenger tweeted a photo of a packed flight. you had a flight recently that it went viral with somebody claiming, my god, there's no social distancing at all. what have you done about that? >> we're going to let you know, if you're flying on us a day or two in advance, hey, by the way, peter, the flight that you're on seems to be over 65, 70%, we'll figure out a number. if you're uncomfortable with that, there is a flight leaving three hours later that has really very a lot of capacity. so if you're uncomfortable and your plane allows flexibility, that's what we've pivoted to to ensure that you have that. >> reporter: besides being less crowded, your upcoming flight may also be cheaper. >> welcome, sir. >> thank you. >> reporter: i can find a lot of bargain flights right now. sins airlines are losing $100 million a day, you can also expect fewer flights and more turbulence ahead.

>> for now, again, the operative term is to let's get through this crisis for the time and say a prayer, whatever it is that we do, make sure that not just our industry, but the world at large becomes a healthier place. >> reporter: guess you could say that when an entire industry is basically grounded, there's no place to go but up. >> that was cbs travel reporter peter greenberg. the national parks and monuments are open for visitors this memorial day. but others like the statue of liberty remain closed. but that doesn't mean you can't take a tour of lady liberty online. here's conor knighton. >> reporter: last summer architect paul davidson spent ten nights inside of the statue of liberty. from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., he and his team carried out a first of its kind laser scan of lady liberty. capturing the statue's interior during the hours when it wasn't

packed full of tourists. do you look back at those ten nights and think, oh, man, i could have been doing it now during the daytime. >> i know. this is like the perfect time to be surveying it, outside and in for sure. >> we are now on our way to the statue of liberty -- >> reporter: ellis island and the statue of liberty are currently closed to all visitors, shutdown due to covid-19. which actually makes this the perfect time to debut some of davidson's work. the images he captured during those long nights have just been turned into a virtual tour. now all those who can't visit in person can explore the statue online like never before. >> you can get into the crown and kind of view everything in 360. you can go up to the torch and get a view off of that. you can climb up the arm. >> reporter: the virtual tour includes many areas that would traditionally be off limits to visitors.

davidson's team also laser scanned every nook and cranny. and getting that data was no easy task. >> really, the biggest challenge for survey that the statue presents is the fact that it is never still. it's constantly moving in the wind. when you're surveying, you want it to be static. but we were in that torch and it was probably five or ten miles an hour, and it was swaying really like three or 4 inches. it was kind of like being on a boat. ♪ ♪ >> reporter: the statue was meant to sway. this flexible support system was designed by french architect alexander gustav eiffel. perhaps you heard of his tower in paris. when liberty was dedicated in 1886, it was the highest structure in all of new york city. a triumph of engineering and an instant international icon.

>> i think about the conditions under which that was done, and it was for nothing more than to celebrate democracy and freedom and liberty. >> reporter: davidson has been documenting the statue as part of the national park services' historic american building survey. the new virtual tour is just part of the project. the new scan will serve as a high-tech three-dimensional blueprint for everything from research to reconstruction if, god forbid, anything should ever happen to the statue. >> this is a record that has many uses down the line. if they do need to make some alterations for social distancing even, they've got a stuff te 3-d melth >> reporter: whenever the statue eventually reopens, touring its tight interior spaces will likely be done very differently. but there's still something powerful about being there in person. as davidson points out, a virtual visit is nice, but it's

no substitute for the real thing. >> it's the visitors who circulate through the statue every day who kind of enliven the space, right? the beam that they touch every time they go up the stairs. or the metal treads they're wearing in the center from people passing through. and all those visual cues, you start to feel the presence of how many people have moved through this space for 130 years. and you can basically like reach back in history and feel something from it: i'm alex trebek here to tell you
