Do you get sick when travel via plane? (lemmy.world)

Almost every time I fly somewhere, I get sick, and it kinda ruins every vacation ever. I’m not sure if it’s the germs on the airplane (causation), or the time zone difference affecting my sleep (correlation). Maybe a combination of both? Last trip, it hit me about 3 days in.

I wouldn’t say my drinking/sleeping habits are that different on vacation compared to my regular life. Is this a common thing people experience, or time to see a doctor?

I desperately wanna enjoy a vacation sickness free and then return to work refreshed instead of sick.

I think I will wear a mask next time to see if that helps. I wasn’t sure if it is the plane, or that when I fly I happen to be traveling to further, more different places (e.g. bigger time difference, more different weather, food, etc).
