What Type of Mask Should You Wear When You Fly?

Frommers suggests that air travellers look to European air carrier policies for the best masks to choose for flying. Germany and France both recommend that citizens wear medical-grade, FFP, or N95 masks on all forms of public transport based on several studies. This is because these masks have a tight weave and a gap-free fit that filters out most particles. Air France, Lufthansa, and Finnair all recommend these masks. However, they can be difficult to find in the U.S. Dr. Anthony Fauci recommended wearing two lesser masks at once, but this solution may feel stuffy on long flights. For cloth masks, Mayo Clinic recommends tightly woven fabrics, especially cotton, that fit snugly without gaps.
