Neither of these viral infections are airborne in the medical sense of that term. However, if you are within 6 feet of someone sneezing with influenza, before the respiratory droplets that are heavier than air fall to the floor or surfaces in the area, you could breathe some of the droplets containing the viruses into your lungs and get the flu. The stomach flu is usually transmitted by direct contact and not from respiratory droplets but that is not impossible, either.
The "stomach flu" is not airborne. It's spread by the fecal oral route.

What most people consider a severe tummy infection is usually called the stomach flu, even though that is not the proper name for it.
