Yellow Phone

Thin Air
According to astronaut 'Tim Peake', the air quality on the international space station is the same as Earth at sea level.
However on commercial airlines the air is usually pressurised to 1,830 - 2,400 meters. The air on a plane is akin to the air on the top of a small mountain, thin and dry. The air on the international space station is better than the air on an airplane.
