Then, yours is guaranteed to go. If it's 6 weeks before your flight and that flight isn't suspended, then you can repeat the same pattern, which makes the 3 weeks prior flight guaranteed to go and guarantees that you'll have an opportunity to plant 6 more people on it, etc. You can prove by mathematical induction that you can make it where your flight is guaranteed to go by planting at least 6 infected people on the flights 3, 6, 9, 12, etc., weeks before your flight.
