Firstly, many congratulations on the pending birth of your first grandchild! I think airplanes are better about their air flow, but that is a long flight, plus I’d be even more concerned in the airport!
PreCovid I use to fly to the west coast once a year for vacation. Always came down with a cold upon landing, until I discovered SinuOrega™ Nasal Spray. I would spray it in my nostrils before boarding and upon landing. Then afterwards for a few days. No more cold. I’ve started using it again now when I’m going out in public. As the delta variant hangs out longer in the nasal passages, I think it’s worth a try for it’s antiviral qualities.
And, eat a big meal before you get to the airport, so you don’t have to take off your mask 😷 until you get through the airport at Denver. I know that’s a drag, but doable; sanitize, and hold your breath when TSA makes you lift up your mask at security check!
Hang in there JK, think of the tales you can tell your grandchild about your first visit.

Great tips. Somehow I don't think my digestive tract and bladder would take kindly to that timetable for eating, since I need to "eat a bit of something" every couple of hours!
But, I like your ideas!

Thanks, @athenalee for the encouraging words.
I have never heard of SinuOrega™ Nasal Spray before but are you sure that your transplant department is OK with it? I was told to not use the things like Airborne that people often use before flights because they do support your immune system, which of course is not what you want. Perhaps my transplant department is just ultra-conservative but I would definitely check with my transplant department before using it.
@rosemarya Your son's report back on flying is encouraging. My son said the same when he flew here but he is a bit more lax than I am.

Our son flew last week and had only good things to say about how well the airports were doing to provide a safe environment, and he had a layover in the Atlanta airport. He flew Delta and said that they were amazing in how well they adhered to CDC safe guidelines. All on board wore masks. and everyone was given packets of sanitizer and wipes. Lots of people spaced while boarding and while exiting.
