[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's annoying, but as others have said - you can't control it.  I always mask when I fly because that is something I can control.[/quote]

+1. That includes when we are lining up for the flight. [/quote]

Yes, the plane itself has better filtration when flying than the terminal (though easier to distance there), jetbridge, or the plane when taxiing.[/quote]

This is not true. The plane filtration being good is a myth [/quote]

Funny, found this on the CDC website from May 2023:

"Cabin Ventilation & Air Filtration
Large commercial jet aircraft recirculate 35%–55% of the air in the cabin, mixed with outside air. The recirculated air passes through high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters that capture 99.97% of particles (bacteria, larger viruses or virus clumps, fungi) ≥0.3 µm in diameter. Furthermore, laminar airflow generally circulates in defined areas within the aircraft, thus limiting the radius of distribution of pathogens spread by small-particle aerosols. [b]As a result, the cabin air environment is less conducive to the spread of most infectious diseases than typical environmental systems in buildings[/b]."[/quote]
