bristolman Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 A bit of a flurry here but it's practiclly gone already, more on the way apparently. Hopefully the shorts will be out in a few weeks and then no more long trousers until November or maybe even December again ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, when I travelled with my youngest son as a baby when we got back from UK when he was 6 months old, within a couple of days he started breath holding and that was a very scary time for us, every time he cried he went blue and couldn’t breathe, often passing out. He grew out of it about 3 and we didn’t think any more about it and I took him to U.K. again when he was 4. A couple of days after we returned he started breath holding again but only for a few months this time. Only thing I could think of was not the flight per se but the spraying that they used to do every time you arrived in Australia - they don’t seem to have done that now for a few years but there are all sorts of weird things that can happen on planes. Either that or his shenanigans had nothing to do with flying at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toots Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Never had any problems myself after flying but loads of people I know seem to get really bad colds and even chest infections after a long flight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
