I had 3 holidays in a row where I got ill either on the flight ( during our swine flu outbreak where every passenger arriving from Britain was scanned for body temperature) or within a day or two of arriving, so now I also carry wipes and wipe down all the stuff I touch at my seat, use hand sanitizer after using the loo and before eating, other passengers are always alerted to this by my family's peels of laughter - but I have not had the first few days of a holiday ruined by an awful cold since.
