Flight from hell

 Day 1

Flight from hell. Okay I am not totally complaining, but here is what happened . Because this was a 15 hour flight we decided to fly business class. I, simply put, WILL NOT fly this distance at my age and go economy. Part of this deal is that you get access to this biz lounge ahead of time. Air Canada has a beautiful lounge with great attention and excellent food. The lounge when we got there was almost empty. In the middle of the lounge was this guy who was coughing and blowing his nose. Not a mild cough mind you. A hacking cough. He obviously had a fever as his face was very red. I said to Doug “Oh please, don’t let this guy be going to Brisbane”.  When it was time to go to our gate we meandered over. Right there we spotted this guy waiting to board. Rats. Then shock and horror he had the seat right beside me. I kept my mask on for the full 15 hours. He hacked and sneezed all night! He did not wear a mask so hopefully he is an anti vaxxer and my bivalent vaccine keeps me protected. I complained to the steward who explained they can’t test anymore so we all get exposed. The steward suggested it might “just” be flu.
