In general, it is better in situations where your fingers touch your eyes or rub your lips without thinking about where this happened. That's twice as much when you take public transport where your hands touch the place, all the other hands of people as tall as the ones you touch (relax, it's okay, take a new one Yorker: Constant exposure to germs makes you indestructible ).
Should we triple this tip when traveling by plane? It is a notoriously unpleasant experience that we all face as we try to turn our seats into mobile living rooms, stretching our bare feet, drinking snacks on the small tray, drinking fluids on the blankets, and chewing gum between them Pages to hide from the magazine. Sometimes this relaxation goes too far: Actress Nicole Byer has recently found a piece of shit on her plastic-covered cover. And you to think What happens to these touchscreen monitors before this video became viral this week, showing a passenger exploring the options with their bare feet ?
Of course, planes are "cleaned" between flights, you know, that's one of the reasons why you can not access the danger plane while you're sitting there. This may seem like a nebulous excuse, as if you were telling your editor "to squeeze that story!" In fact, you only wrote 100 words. Then we ask some airlines: What does the "cleaning" of the flight mean?

Between two flights
The airlines we've talked to (Southwest, Spirit and United) have general guidelines for what can be cleaned between flights and what is only respected during deep clearance at the end of the flight. the day

A Southwest Airlines spokesman told us that the aircraft's cabins and kitchens were "tidied up and refurbished" between flights, both by flight attendants and by other crew members. This means picking up items from the seats, backrests and floors of the cabin. Flight attendants go through the cabin to inspect and collect the trash in each row as needed. The spokesman said that the airline, which operates 4,000 flights a day, also has portable sweepers on board to clean carpet areas that require special attention. Other crewmembers cool the kitchens and can clean the kitchen floor as needed. A typical cleaning cycle takes 30 to 40 minutes.
Spirit Airlines, which runs 600 daily flights to 76 airports, follows a similar system, but one spokesman explicitly mentioned the cleanliness of the bathrooms:

"All planes are cleaned after each flight," the spokesman wrote in an e-mail. "In addition to cleaning the full-service toilets, we'll remove all the garbage, fill in the necessary items, clean the worktops, vacuum and disinfect the central carpet of the cabin."

The cleaning time of Spirit depends on how long the aircraft stays on the ground. Between the flights both cabin crew and an external cleaning staff are used. Southwest and Spirit do not have backup screens. So do not worry about streaming from finger to finger.
United is much larger than the sky with 4,900 daily flights to 355 destinations. A spokesman told us that crews between flights focus on the bathrooms and the kitchen. Then every night the trays and armrests are cleaned and disinfected and the floor is vacuumed. In fact, the trays and rear monitors are cleaned after each flight.

deep cleansing
For United aircraft, "regular" deep cleaning (the airline does not indicate the frequency) includes washing the suspended ceilings and compartments and thoroughly cleaning the interior.

Southwest also told us that its aircraft-like equipment "thoroughly cleans up every night" and covers a detailed list of items in kitchens and bathrooms, disinfects surfaces of food, disinfects all hard surfaces in the cabin, and cleans the carpet
Spirit offers an aircraft-based depth-cleaning program that covers all areas of the aircraft, including metal sections under seats, caterpillars, coatings, coatings and leather packaging, as well as all the walls and ceilings and doors of the kitchen compartments.

"Our team will spend the whole night in an airplane, because this cleaning is extremely detailed," the spokesman wrote in an e-mail.
So, that means most flights are cleaned between flights, which makes it better than an average bus or subway, but a thorough cleaning is not done that often. What is true in most public spaces. The body normally occupies and you do not think often.

How to minimize the contact with germs.
If it still scares you, study the bloodiest spots on the plane and try some of these germ tips for traveling by plane (or at least learn how to avoid the sick on the plane). Even Naomi Campbell announced that she was a plane cataphobia this week: she shared a video of her pre-flight ritual wearing real disposable plastic gloves and cleaning every surface (this reporter undoubtedly expands brave microbes into a pile to form disposable plastic waste !).

Thorough cleaning of the aircraft would further delay their flight. Some of us would like to change a thorough cleaning for faster entry time and cheaper flights. So, as I said, it's better not to worry about germs because they are not you are not as harmful as you think . But if you want to erase your touch screen before you take off your shoes, no one will blame you.
