  This [1] article references a study [2] you might be interested in. Quoting from the article: "The study, which synthesises existing research on the effects of frequent travel, finds three types of consequence: physiological, psychological and emotional, and social."

  if you're taking >= 1 flight per month, you're probably easily in the top 5% percentile bracket for income world-wide. so, with an appropriately broad perspective, you're probably relatively healthy.

    > you're probably easily in the top 5% percentile bracket for income world-wide. Either that, or your job requires you to be on a flight every month. There /are/ such jobs.

  Since flights generally take you to places with diseases your immune system isn't familiar with, I doubt you could use this to conclude anything interesting about the planes themselves.
