There was some analysis, studies that showed how a cold would spread on a plane. But they did upgrade their safety measures and with masking I think the stats have been pretty good.

Kind of wish they keep the masking heh. I flew a lot pre-covid - when I get a cold it's almost always after a trip, and sometimes you can almost trace it back - yeah that guy right behind me that was taking cold meds and spent the 2.5 hour flight sneezing... That was probably why I started coming down with a cold the day after I got back.
