Airplane seats can be germ hotspots, but with a few simple steps, you can keep your space clean and safe.
Pack a small hygiene kit with essentials like disinfectant wipes, hand sanitizer (60% alcohol or more), and tissues. Before sitting, wipe down high-touch surfaces such as the tray table, seatbelt buckle, armrests, in-flight screen and games controller.
If you don’t bring a personal hygiene kit you can use the hot towel the air hostess gives you at the beginning of a flight to wipe down the hight-touch surfaces.
Avoid placing food or personal items directly on the tray table—use a napkin or cloth as a barrier. Lastly, sanitize your hands frequently, especially before eating or after touching shared surfaces.
The inflight cutlery pack often includes wet wipes that are perfect for quick clean-ups.
These quick steps ensure a cleaner and safer flight.
