You can travel with multiple people in a car and it costs far less to drive 13 hours than to fly the equivalent distance. It just takes more time. And apparently I was wrong about the air, but I know I have gotten sick multiple times after flying and I’m not alone.
Whether or not the air circulation in a plane is perfect, airports are giant petri dishes of people from all over sharing their local versions of diseases. I wouldn’t worry too much about the plane when the pretzel shop is right there.
