I'd be careful about doing this. The nasal hair acts as a filter to collect particles, bacteria and germs, etc so that these are not breathed into your body. You may end up making it easier to breathe in more than you expect. Triple antibiotic ointment, neosporin, and the like do kill bacteria, but the certainly don't kill viruses like the common cold and flu. Air within the airplane is filtered to protect you even further. You are more likely to pick up an illness within the airport where you are exposed to more individuals and touch many more items. Remember to practice good hygiene every day - wash hands frequently and avoid touching your face.
