I wanted to say the same, so QFT, though at times I can't help but disinfect when in China...
To add in my opinion is:
- NO alcohol during long flights, they screw up immune system / sleep quality and add bad calories ;-)
- warm clothes / scarf, those air planes are getting better but sometimes their temperature regulation is seriously screwed up!
- try to get some healthy food before / during the trip. The chicken wings & burgers in the terminal, massive cola servings & plane food screw with your diet balance and for sure this doesn't help your immune system.
