“I will wear an N95 mask in the airport and on a plane if I decide to fly. “Yes, I will wear a mask, because Covid is still a serious risk. “I recently returned to Ireland from Australia and wore a mask for the full journey (except when eating/drinking). I have managed to stay Covid-free over the past two years, despite taking a couple of internal flights within Australia, and hope to remain so. Even if I didn’t have these issues, I would still wear a mask as I know of people with long Covid. It’s a no-brainer as far as I’m concerned. “I am elderly, in recovery from cancer with still low immune system, but worried about Covid. Yet, I don’t want to be stuck in the house, two years is enough. “I will definitely wear a mask on a plane next time I travel. “I will continue to wear a mask on flights, as well as any indoor setting where possible. I carry a C02 monitor and on previous flights I’ve seen the reading go up around 3000ppm, about 4x the safe level. In fact, I would be reluctant to fly with a carrier that does not have a mask mandate. I have thankfully, so far, managed to avoid catching Covid. Why would anyone unnecessarily expose themselves, and others, by not wearing a mask in the enclosed space of an aircraft cabin?” – Taragh, France “I was on an Emirates flight recently and I was delighted that masks were mandatory. I’m surprised at how precious some people can get about wearing a small mask, and I think it is safer and healthier too on such a confined space with air recirculating.
