To take the pressure of the straps off your ears grab a packet of flexible ear savers. They work quite good, but haven't tried them on a long haul flight yet.

As someone who regularly spends 10 hour shifts in an N95 mask the disposable blue surgical ones feel like slippers by comparison 
These are the ones I wear on flights, no issues whatsoever.
I’ll be reserving my 3M Aura ones for upcoming trips on the Tube in rush hour.

Indeed. DIL as GP has now reverted to the N95 masks at work. Still off to UK for Christmas? DIL is getting very stressed by it all.As someone who regularly spends 10 hour shifts in an N95 mask the disposable blue surgical ones feel like slippers by comparison

I’ve told them to hold their nerve for the moment. They are taking a 2 year old but other than the flight will be in a family bubble.At this stage who knows ? Taking it day by day but not cancelled anything yet.

Surely people have not forgotten the other required PPE?
You know the ones with the designer status
Im actually surprised that Martin has not reappeared with designer masks

Did mask the whole way on the flight to Singapore from Melbourne. Wasn't an issue for me even though after long hours and glasses they are extremely uncomfortable. Didn't bother taking it off while sleeping, I figured if the couple in front of me could wear a full hazmat suit/mask/face shield get up I would be ok with just the mask ha ha ha.
