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 don't, but there's always someone else in my family who's getting sick whenever we fly together. I've worn masks to the airport ever since the pandemic. Also tend to fall asleep shortly after takeoff, so I'm well-rested upon arrival.
