5) Sanitation Wipes
Airplanes are full of germs due to the re-circulating air, and the plethora of people constantly on the plane. Instead of avoiding all thoughts about the germs around your seat, be proactive about it. Airplanes carry free sanitation wipes that can be used to disinfect surfaces. This will keep your area germ free and prevent you from getting sick. Make sure to wipe down the food tray in front of your seat, as this is considered the dirtiest surface on any plane. Often food trays are not properly wiped down because the turnaround time for flights is very short. Aircrew members have a limited amount of time to prepare the plane for its next flight and do not put enough time into cleaning the tray. Since you are likely to use your tray for food, you should make this area as clean as possible by using sanitation wipes.
