Anyone catch colds on planes?

It seems like every time I fly I get sick (like a cold or something similar)... does this happen to anyone else?

You should use Air Borne when you fly.

DH every single flight. Next vacation I am going to send him for a shot of something before hand. He is really tired because of work and school, so I think his immune system is really low.

My dad swears by this stuff!!! He said it works better for him the Zycam.

Wash your hands a lot and try not to touch too many surfaces. And the AirBorne is great. We use hand sanitizer during the trip and wash as soon as we get off the plane, and whenever in between.

About 8 or 9 years ago, I flew down to Florida to see my mom. I had a cold when I left. Exactly 2 weeks after I got back, I got the chicken pox (I never had it as a kid). The first thing the doctor asked me was 'Have you flown lately?' She said someone on the plane probably had it, but wasn't showing symptons yet. She said planes are terrible for spreading illnesses.
