Absolutely!  I've been known to come down with major sinus infections after a flight.

Hope you're feeling better soon.

FLYING IS COMPLETELY DISGUSTING.  I try so hard, before entering the compartment of trapped germs from WHO knows when,  for WHO knows how long, hoping that a cough isn't sitting on my armrest...

DON'T EVER REQUEST AN AIRLINE PILLOW OR BLANKET. 

Airlines are notorous for "bad" air.  I flew over the holidays with  no problem and am headed overseas during Christmas.  I drink plenty of water and Energy C w/zinc before and during the flight.

a relative flew out from ca for thanksgiving. she got sick on the plane. passed in onto me and my finace. now we have passed it on to others...flying sux! thats why i need to sell a few multi million dollar homes so i can fly netjets!

Oh my gosh- it is so true!  The worst is when I fly with my 1 1/2 yr old b/c she gets sick too!  I think that airborne, the medicine is really supposed to help.

It seems whenever I fly I get a stuffy/runny nose and maybe a headache....Luckily it goes away within a few hours. 

When I was travelling weekly for business, I was always sick. I don't know if it was the flights, the over air conditioned hotels or just the stress of being on the road 4-5 days a week, but it always happened.

Airborne is great. Recycled air on planes just give all the passengers a chance to "rebreathe" each others germs. On the positive side, since people can no longer smoke we don't have to all smoke a pack of cigarettes together as well.

I recently was flying over the Thanksgiving holiday and I did not get sick but I found myself drinking over a gallon of water the day I was flying. My mouth was so dry I could not drink enough water. So a would say the water keeps my body clean of the germs.
