that one person is going to make all the difference on a flight? By the time I fly I will be well past the contagious period. That doesn't mean that the sniffles and blocked ears will have cleared by then. Think you guys all assumed that I was flying today maybe....
Anyhow, I have been to Bali many many times and have shared a plane ride with heaps of sick people. I have also flown interstate many many times and had the same experience with people coughing and spluttering. It is winter after all! Pretty sure an insurance company isn't going to pay out on flu/head cold... let alone get my work to agree to changing the dates I go on holidays. Not everyone who posts on the BTF is selfish but I get the feeling many are willing to quickly jump to that conclusion when thy could have just asked me.
