Handy Advice for Travelers When flying, it is wise to remember a few hygiene tips. Never walk barefoot on the plane, as the floors can be much dirtier than they appear. Airplane bathrooms are not always clean, so even after washing your hands, use antibacterial wipes or tissues to reduce contact with germs. These wipes are also helpful for cleaning surfaces like tray tables, which may not be thoroughly sanitized and could have been used for many purposes, including diaper changes.

To protect your health, always wipe down your tray table before using it for food. This simple habit can significantly lower your risk of exposure to harmful bacteria.
