Emergency Medicine physician Dr. Anita Patel has shared her top two tips for travelers: Use the Tray Table without sanitizing it, and not to use it on a plane. She recommends that she immediately wipes down the tray tables with antibacterial wipes and will also use any surface that is wipeable around her and her family. A study by Travelmath found that tray tables are the germiest place on a flight or in an airport, with almost double the bacteria of the airport drinking fountain. Additionally, Patel highlighted the importance of seat belts and sunscreen for safety. She also highlighted the need to be aware of the high-profile nature of UVB rays higher in the sky than when on the ground.
