I aint flying any more. Last time was last winter and I and my wife caught that flu. Took a couple months to get over that one.
Nice that flying...get to inhale all that recycled air and all.
The winter before last we flew to Dublin to a wedding. We became sick while there, and were sick for more than a month. Our friend, also at the wedding was hospitalized with pneumonia and had severe side effects such as kidney failure. Starting from a cold! This past May we were on an 11- hour flight on a 787 Dreamliner. Thats the newer Boing jet that somehow pumps fresh air into the cabin. What a huge difference - . No ill effects whatsoever!!
