This is the third or forth flight I have heard of having very sick passengers. I think one was from somewhere in Africa to the UK and one from Spain to the UK and one might have been in Russia!! It is a bit worrying that it is seems to be everywhere! Yep, the joys of International travel and how fast disease can travel! I hope it is nothing serious! Here is one more | |||

I just returned from my hunt in Zimbabwe, and this was the first time I flew Emirates. My hunting companion and I both got sick after arriving in camp on 22 August - we both suffered from chronic diarrhea and vomiting and lost the first 2 days of the hunt because of it. My PHs wife checked with her Dr. in Harare and was told many people arriving from Lusaka on Emirates suffered from the same malady. A 5 day course of Cipro, which I always carry with me, seemed to clear up whatever it was I had. It was a very nasty couple of days getting better however. | |||

Kind of makes you wonder about the cleanliness of the food suppliers they contract with? Roger ___________________________ I'm a trophy hunter - until something better comes along. *we band of 45-70ers* | |||

Oh, for a minute I thought it might have been because Mark Sullivan was travelling back on the plane from his recent South African safari  | |||

Sadly, Only certain companies are licensed to do in flight catering, and the airline has absolutely no control over it. It is the country which decides who does this, and the airlines are limited to purchasing food from them. It is a terrible situation to be in. | |||

Planes and airports have become global petri dishes. I go on construction sites all over North and South America and its a rare porta john that I see filthier than an airport or airplane restroom. People are the nastiest critters on the planet. Covering your mouth when you cough or sneeze is not done by most adults and even fewer of their children as it would require them to put down their bloody cell phones. It appears as if basic hygiene and manners has been banned as an unpopular and unnecessary process. Apologies for the rant but I travel a lot and I am amazed and disgusted at how nasty people can be. All we can do is keep our vaccinations up to date and wash our hands. If you do that, you are way ahead of most of the planet. Safe travels...……….Larry | |||

Two weeks ago Inwas at Stockholm airport, at the gate fir my flight back home. A young couple came and sat on the floor - there were seats available. They had a young child - few months old. The mother got on her phone, and the father did the same. The little child started crawling, and licking the floor as he went along! The mother was totally oblivious to him, but the father kept glancing towards the child, but did absolutely nothing. This went on for quite a while, people passing on all sides of the child!! I found this incredible! | |||

I “was” looking forward to traveling Emirates to SA next year. Now you guys have me worried. I hope it is something that is corrected soon or maybe don’t eat the food on the plane. Bummer.

This is not an Emirates only issue. In fact, Emirates has some of the cleanest aircraft and terminal facilities I have experience. The worst is by far here in the good old USA. | |||

Won’t work for viruses but wondering if starting cipro 2 days before flying would work as a prophylaxis for these issues.

I did about 35 flights on Emirates last year. Typical for the past four years for me. Mainly 7 hours, but a few longer and a few shorter. I had a nasty case of the shits in June and some kind of respiratory bug three years ago that saw me in hospital for two nights. No doubt in my mind I caught both these on a flight. I don't blame the airline. It's the other passengers who spread these bugs. Look at any airline arrivals board and consider the passengers on connecting flights. The guy to your left was came from Hanoi and the guy to your right came from Rio. The guy behind came from Cape Town. All within 10 hours. Not much the airline can do about it.
