How to choose the best seat on a plane to avoid bacteria

As the holidays bring more travel and flying, choosing the right seat on the plane can be essential to avoiding viruses and bacteria.

During your flight, here are some key ways to do just that:

Choose the right seat on the plane

Seats matter, and not just for getting on and off the plane faster. You may want to choose a window seat, ideally one that faces the center of the plane.

This will keep you away from high-traffic areas of the plane, such as the entrance and restrooms. A previous study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests that sitting in a window seat and staying seated for the entire flight may be the best option to avoid catching something from other passengers.

It's a good idea to disinfect all areas you might touch, like seat belts, armrests, air vents.

But what is the most critical surface to clean? The dining table.

According to a study in which a microbiologist collected samples from five airports and four flights, the trays in front of seats were found to have 2,155 bacterial colonies per square inch, more than eight times more germs than the toilet seat, which had only 265 bacterial colonies. /CNA
