I've had to fly for work and the things I do to try to make sure I'm not sick are crazy! An hour before my flight I take allergy medicine that makes you drowsy. A small amount of OTC sleeping pills, Dramamine and anxiety medicine. Then I do the same right before I get on the plane. (I don't even know if any of this helps) also I wear sea bands and book a window seat. Then I run to the bathroom every five minutes before I finally board the plane to make sure I'm ok.
And as far as AmericanAdams story goes, none of us were there so we shouldn't tell him what did or didn't happen. We're here to help each other not tell them what they're sharing isn't true.
