If that's true, I know nothing about it. That sounds pretty high tech for Boeing's antique, but I'm certainly open to learning something new!

As far as I know, Spirit is the only American airline that has a very specific checklist for fumes. Many times fume events happen after an engine wash because corners are cut. Ask me how I know.

Amazon too. Just be sure you get their Techno mask as that filters gases.
It’ll fold fairly flat so I carry one in my brain bag and is relatively quick donning. Pick a few up for your family to have when traveling.
