Re: 20 hour first flight!! Scared out of my brain! Please help!!!!
Congratulations on qualifying for such a posh flight. Paris, NYC, Dubai... you are one very cosmopolitan emet!
1. Most likely, no one will vomit. And if they do, it won't be contagious.
2. Norovirus season is pretty much over in March.
3. You won't vomit and you probably won't even feel nauseated. Bring whatever of your favorite food you can carry on your trip. Then you won't need to worry about the airline food.
4. Why panic? Panic won't help you prevent vomiting.
Can you take a flight from Paris to Brussels or London or Nice or someplace and back (like a 45 minute flight) so you can see what an airplane is like before you need a 7 hour flight?
On the other hand, imagine you don't fly and instead had to take an ocean liner from Southampton to New York.
1. Pretty much guaranteed a lot of people will vomit.
2. Outbreaks of norovirus on cruise ships are well known.
3. I wouldn't be able to reassure you that you won't vomit and won't feel nauseated.
4. Why panic? Panic won't help you prevent vomiting.
