Diagram Shows Worst Spots To Catch Germs On A Plane

Ah, travel. I love it. I am so excited to share a confined space with 300 strangers from all over the world, who may or may not have showered or taken a vitamin in the past week. Fun times.

As if screaming crying babies on long haul flights are not bad enough, there are also germs galore. Yay. I mean, the last thing you want to do is arrive at your family ski holiday with a sniffly nose and something that itches that shouldn’t be itching…

Thankfully, the guys over at The Advisory Board Company have done an infographic, which I suggest you print out and embed into your family’s heads.

In a nutshell: take hand sanitiser, wipe the tray table, don’t sit in an aisle seat, will yourself to not need to pee, and lastly, don’t breathe if someone is sneezing.

Alternatively, just fly private, where I am sure the cleanliness of your comfy plane will be impeccable. GetJet now offers affordable private jet charter. You’re welcome.
