Planes are notoriously known for being germ-friendly and restrictive. From being in a confined and enclosed space with strangers to the constant use of planes without meticulous cleaning, planes are full of germs, and often offer limited mobility. We have listed 4 travel essentials to stay clean, comfortable on long flights
Compression stockings
Wear compression socks to reduce blood clots and swelling.
When flying for extended periods, the risk of blood clots increases due to sitting for longer than normal. When choosing your compression stockings, it is important to choose a high-quality option. Typical over-the-counter options will not offer as much compression as a medical-grade compression stocking.
Foot hammock
Utilize a foot hammock for increased mobility and circulation.
Foot hammocks allow you to swing your legs and keep them elevated to prevent clots and increase blood flow and circulation. Especially for travellers with shorter legs, foot hammocks allow additional comfort and mobility.
Tray covers
Limit germs and increase storage with a tray cover.
Flight attendants only have a limited time to clean between flights, so it is hard to guarantee that your seat received a proper cleaning before you sat down. Available in both disposable and reusable options, tray covers are a good option for creating a barrier and limiting germs. Additionally, the reusable options often include extra storage for devices or anything of your liking, limiting the opportunity to leave your belongings behind on the plane.
Cleaning wipes
A basic cleaning wipe can take you far.
Although basic and straightforward, basic wet cleaning wipes are extremely necessary and useful. Wipe down the TV, tray, armrests, and seatbelt before you get comfy to ensure cleanliness throughout your flight. Always keep these handy – they might be useful throughout your trip!
