Obviously your question is pointed at reinfection, but another thing to consider is fatigue. I am a LC sufferer who has been to Mayo and am running the Mayo program. One element of recovery is moderation of mental and physical activity - do too much and you harm recovery. For me I have found a long drive steps over my personal moderation level and crashes me. You might consider balancing your decision between reinfection with fatigue/crashing.

Thank you. In your experience with hearing from other LC individuals, if they wear N95 masks , has reinfection been common from airplane travel or has it been rare

I find I can do flights up to approx 3 hrs otherwise it taxes me too much. Flying is relatively safe as they purify the air to a high percentage and add a good mask and you should be not be reinfected. But, wear your mask in the airport!
