Airplanes are also stuffed like sardine cans with people, some of whom may be contagious. Not even N95 would save you after 5 hours in that environment. Nor are they sanitized after the previous group of passengers disembarks. Just give it up already, you know I'm right.

Airplanes shove the air from their cabin through hospital-or-grade air filters every 1.5-2 minutes (that is, the amount of time air can "hang" before being filtered maxes at 2 minutes if on the lowest setting, 1.5 on a normal setting. Those filters will catch the particles half the size of COVID at at least 99.99%. Also, the airflow is designed to get replaced with air from outside the plane regularly, and airflow is designed to really be isolated in any 3 seat element (obviously, not exclusively, but most air is only going to be shared with your neighbors.
Being on an actual airplane is probably one of the safer places to be indoors. Everyone knows about contagion on cruise ships. Why aren't there stories about airborne outbreaks on airplanes?
