Very simple solution (for future reference since you probably are already scheduled to leave)- buy refundable/changeable tickets. If you get sick - do ALL of us who travel alot a favor and do not fly. Wait a few days until it is out of your system, then fly. In fact I find your first post selfish and self-absorbed. It's your fellow flyer you should be thinking about - don't fly with a contagious desease.
