So, you settle in to your seat and after a few minutes realise that someone has a heavy cold and is sharing their germs with everyone else.

It feels worse on the upper deck because it's a smaller space. Sometimes half the cabin seem to have a cold.

I usually cringe and find myself trying not to breathe air in! Silly really because I'll die if I keep that up for the whole flight!

Personally I feel sympathy for most people suffering from a cold. I know some people will say they should not board a plane but the reality is that most people just want to get home. I think most passengers have flown with a cold. But I do think there is a point when you shouldn't fly with a cold... When your eyes and nose are constantly streaming, you can't stop sneezing and you are covered in used tissues.... trying to find a dry patch
