Staying Healthy While Flying

Travelers often worry about falling ill during air travel, but the cleanliness of airplane air is not the primary concern. Research indicates that the air onboard is actually cleaner than that in many public spaces due to efficient HEPA filters and air circulation systems. Instead, the surfaces passengers touch present a greater risk for germs. To minimize sickness, it is advisable to wash hands frequently and wipe down surfaces, especially when boarding an aircraft, where close proximity to others increases the likelihood of contagion.
