Elastomeric respirator like 3M 6200. It will be more comfortable than an N95 if worn for a long time. But wear an N95 (maybe change them every few hours as they get damp) if you have to. Plane rides are super spreaders and so are airports.

Absolutely this. I went on a trip recently with my coworker for a conference overseas. I wore a N95 and he didn't. And he has 'bad coughs" after the flight and was coughing up a storm for the whole trip and even lost a few days being sick.

Maybe it's Covid. Or maybe just nasty air.
