Are You Afraid To Fly?

Probably the most useful thing you can do if you are stuffed up or have a cold, is purchase some Afrin (nasal spray) and use it before the flight. Afrin’s nickname is “the pilot’s friend.” I always bring the 12hr Afrin bottle with me at all times, just in case. You can generally get it at an airport if you forget. It will prevent the painful sinus blocks and relieve congestion and pressure. I try to not fly when I have a cold, but you never know if something is going to happen on a trip. Even if I’m mildly congested, I use it, just in case. Sometimes you don’t realize you’re going to have a problem until it’s too late.
