Jana, I also wanted to let you know that being a singer myself, I thought I'd leave you some suggestions as well. First, a voice teacher told me once that you should try not to speak much during your plane flights. Drink lots of water whole on the plane and of course, everyday. What helps me keep my throat moist is buying the fruit brezzes, (my favorite kind is strawberry) from Hauls. They are not cogh drops but I really find that they help me. Also drinking hot tea with lemon helps. I hope you have a great trip and be safe.
