Aircraft Cabin Air Recirculation and Symptoms of the Common Cold
http://jama.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/abstract/288/4/483

This was a pretty interesting article that looked at risks of catching a cold while traveling via airliner, due to recycled air.

The study looked at the main factor of recycled air in the cabins of commercial airliners and its risk factor for catching a cold. The article basically said there was no increased risk of catching a cold while flying, commercially.

I was convinced that I was getting sick from other people, in the cabin, due to recycled air. Hmmm, I guess it turns out I am just a hypochondriac with bad info!

Confined spaces, lots of people changing bacteria zones, it cant just be coincidence that everyone gets sick after flying! I agree with your earlier thoughts….
