I fly regularly, usually twice a month and sometimes three times. I do use O2 to fly, and make arrangements for O2 to be delivered to the hotel where I'm staying. I make sure I'm in really good shape by regular exercise and a good diet. I try to avoid being too close to people with bugs, but the thing I do that I think makes the most difference is use a nasal rinse after each flight. I think it makes a huge difference. You might also check with your doc to see what other precautions you might use, including a mask and OTC meds.
