T+L TIPS: HOW TO STAY HEALTHY ON PLANES
Avoid touching your face. • If someone near you—in your row or directly in front of or behind you—is coughing or sneezing, inquire about changing seats. • Don't walk around the plane too much; it increases your contact with other people. • Use a nasal mister filled with filtered water; this makes your cilia, your built-in filters against microbes, work more effectively. • Use alcohol wipes—such as BD Alcohol Swabs, available in pharmacies—on your hands and any surfaces that you'll be touching frequently, including the armrest and tray table.
