Actually I still do.
Because there's so many ignorant people about who don't even look away when they cough or sneeze outside or inside.
I've lost count of the ones I've come across being so rude.

I find it really annoying, disrespectful and extremely bad manners

I don't want it myself never mind pass it on to anyone else.
It's just simply good manners and respect not to cough and sneeze around others.
You're right, use tissues, simple enough.

I’ll be wearing a mask on my flight to Tenerife and at airport. Don’t want anyone’s gross illness on holiday or returning home.

You’d think after Covid peoples hygiene and consideration would have improved, but sadly it hasn’t.

I wear a mask when I fly. I'm not sure how much use it is, but the circulated air is toxic. It was cleaner when people smoked. When the banned smoking they drastically reduced the regularity of air filtering on planes.

Some people are pigs. Makes you wonder how they were dragged up.

What kind of mask incidentally ?

During Covid we were issued masks in work and you could clearly smell the canteen food .. they said on the news that there were 300,000 covid particles on the end of a needle ..

You would indeed think after COVID that would be the case.
You are wise to wear a mask flying.

i think in a crowded space, it certainly wont make your chances worse of catching something if you wear a mask properly. That's the way i look at it.
