Stop Touching Everything: 6 Easy Ways to Stay Healthy on a Plane

Strategic Seating: Choosing the Right Spot

Where you sit on a plane can influence your exposure to germs. Studies have shown that window seats are generally less exposed to the aisle's constant foot traffic and the germs it stirs up. By choosing a window seat, you minimize your contact with other passengers and the surfaces they touch. Additionally, you can control your environment better by limiting unnecessary contact with shared spaces. If possible, avoid seats near the restroom, as they tend to have higher foot traffic and consequently, more germs. Strategic seating not only offers a more peaceful journey but also a healthier one.
