I have observed the occasional elderly passenger becoming short of breath at high altitudes and requiring oxygen. My regular travel companion, an elderly Yorkshire terrier, becomes short of breath on certain airline flights.

I am quite suspicious that cabin pressure is often lower than is acceptable for safe and comfortable travel. Decreased pressure decreases the airplane's weight significantly as well as the oxygen concentration in the air aboard.
I've heard complaints from otherwise healthy passengers of experiencing headaches more frequently when flying as well as worse jet lag in recent years.
Have any of you readers of Seeking Alpha experienced physical discomfort while flying more frequently now that airlines are focusing on decreasing the weight of planes as a cost saving measure?
