9. Seatback Trays
If we had to guess which spots are dirtiest on a plane, most people would say it’s somewhere in the lavatory. That wouldn’t be the wrong answer, as it makes a lot of sense. I don’t think getting into too many gruesome details is necessary—we are all very aware of how nasty we can get in the bathroom.
In fact, airline staff knows very well that this area is a hotspot for lots of germs, so they make a conscious effort to keep the plane lavatories as clean as possible. One spot that gets minimal attention in comparison is the seatback tray table. Yep, that’s where you put your food!
According to a study by TravelMath, these tray tables carry about eight times more bacteria than toilet flush levers.
