3. Sickness Comes From Touching, Not Breathing
Most of the time when people get sick from flying it’s because of what they touch on the plane, not from the air. With hundreds of people confined in a small space for hours on end, it makes sense that the filtered air may be cause for concern, but in reality, the germs come from the tray table and seat. What pilots don’t want to tell you is that the seats and tables are not usually wiped down or sanitised, only the restrooms are. I don’t know about you, but I’m bringing anti-bacterial wipes with me next time I fly.
