Hi Everyone,

Joined the AFF board after browsing for a while. I'm a freelance musiciian and travel every Week for work. May I travellled adelaide - singapore - kuala lumpur - adelaide on singapore airlines and sydney - frankfurt - melbourne on etihad (plus about 10 domestic virginfflights) in May this year. Currently travel wwhatever I can afford and am a velocity gold member and collect points through qantas and singapore.

Welcome to AFF! That is quite some travelling, do you find that the aircraft air influences your voice? I find the air very dry and usually end up with clogged sinusses.

Thanks! Yeah it wreaks havoc on your voice/respiratory system. May was a freak month (all for work) but i do use a few things to alleviate the pressures on the voice. First and foremost i use humidiflyer, a little mask that humidifies the air you breath (slightly embarrassing looking, but actually works), i also use fess frequent flyer saline spray for my nose, and (unfortunately) dont drink alcohol or coffee in long flights and request water whenever cabin crew walks by.

Welcome

How did you guess??? Yeah a tenor, sing mostly concert music (Bach, Handel etc.)

I believe Bach wrote an opera about coffee but not about travel unfortunately. He was a drinker though I think.
