Hello Lee, I have just discovered this nasal spray that is apparently great to use when flying,

FLO Travel Nasal Spray, nasal moisturiser, supports immunity against cold viruses & bacteria.

It was recommended by a specialist.

You're braver than I am. I won't even fly domestically. Wasit only 3 years ago that I was settling in to 2 OS trips a year?

There's Karen in all of us BTW; sometimes I can't help myself if I think someone might be thoughtlessly suffering mask slippage.

We have to care for each other; it's not "personal responsibility" (read self interest) alone as the PM and the boy Premier of New South Wales would have it.

I agree. Staying silent is often not an option when it involves concern for others.

On behalf of all of us - thank you for telling that woman to put her phone away! I probably feel the same about masks, although I do sympathise with those struggling to cope after tens of hours on a flight (before take-off, however…!).

I recently experienced being a parent whose toddler kicks the back of someone’s seat. It was hell. We did everything to get him to stop and I would have been ever grateful if the stranger in front had told him to knock it off - it might have had more impact !!

I think travelling with a toddler is a whole post on A Real Trip. I'm always sympathetic to horrified parents who can't stop their child's behaviour. It's the MANY who don't care who really annoy me.

Which travel.insurance policy did you get for your trip please?

Insurance was covered in the price of my ticket on Emirates. The airline will still include free COVID coverage until March 31. Other airlines are doing the same, so it might be worthwhile checking. I usually take out an annual policy with TID.
