You know germs abound in airports and planes. Rarely have I flown anywhere at any time of the year that a day or two later I didn't come down with some bug, usually one that includes sneezing
and coughing.
Be prepared. A day or two before you are to fly, take some Coldezze or Airborne, and by all means eat foods with Vitamin C..like Chili peppers. Believe it or not they are higher in C than orange juice. Bell peppers, kale and broccoli are all good sources of Vitamin C.
In her, 30 Surefire Ways to StaY Healthy When You Fly Pamela L. Garza writes, "Make arriving without having caught a cold or stomach virus as high a priority as arriving at your destination with your bags."
Don't forget the sanitizing wipes, and by all means don't hesitate to wipe any surfaces you are going to touch. The trays on the plane, as well as the seat arms, and seat belt are carriers for germs. Don't leave home without those wipes.
Another important Senior Travel Tip is...bathroom door handles on the plane...wipe them thoroughly with the wipes. They can have all kinds of germs.
Last but not least. Don't have the air vent coming directly down on you, tilt it forward. It is filled with germs circulating in the plane.
Be safe and keep germs away.
Have a happy travel day.
