How To Avoid Getting Sick When You Travel

It might be worth it to bring sanitizing wipes and look like a clean freak than to get sick. Would you?

    I’ve never done it before but when I travel next it’ll be with my baby so I’m definitely busting out those wipes :p Who cares what people think? I’m not spending my entire visit home dealing with baby sniffles ?

    As a freak about to norovirus, I freaked a little yesterday when I read the article but to be honest. I always sanatize my hands after using the washroom & I was lucky enough to never get sick. I will definitely start to clean the tray though! Haha.

    I cant even count how many times I had allergies or got a cold after flying! One flying from Brazil to Miami I spent the entire flight sneezing… it wanst fun 😦
    Well, good that I never sit on the aisle! And I hate going to the bathroom… I probably only go if its a too long flight!

    Thanks so much for these great tips—I never thought about the trays and aisle seats—I used to love aisle seats because I hate sitting still that long, but this definitely changed my mind!

      No problem! I personally wouldn’t go as far as picking a different seat if you prefer the aisle but I would definitely wipe the armrest and probably more than once during the flight in case passer-bys touch it.

        Thanks—good idea! I often oscillate between aisle and window, though, so this made up my mind for me–window it is!
