#1: Don’t Touch Your Face

This may sound simple, but touching your face during flights makes it so much easier to catch germs and viruses! This is especially true when you haven’t washed or sanitized your hands in a while.

#2: Take Hand Sanitizer Along

Hand sanitizer is so useful when it comes to flights! When those tiny bathroom sinks just won’t do the trick, use hand sanitizer before eating food, drinking water, etc.

#3: Avoid On-Flight Drinks That Have Water

#5: Don’t Put Belongings in the Seat-Back Pockets

You know those seat-back pockets that have the inflight magazines and safety instruction manuals? Well, they happen to be some of the dirtiest, most germ infested places around.
