Since the tray table provides a direct line of transmission for bacteria to hop from the surface straight into your mouth, navigating this germ trap requires a smart strategy.
Most importantly, never let your food make direct contact with the tray table surface. Keep your snacks wrapper-on, or bring a clean napkin to act as a barrier. If you're ready to trade the daily grind for a little bit of summer travel magic, just remember to pack the sanitizer alongside your favorite sunglasses.
