6. Seatback Pocket
From snotty, used tissues to banana peels, mushy baby food, chewed-off fingernail clippings, and sugary crumbs, the seatback pocket has a great potential to deliver a surprise full of germs to anyone who’s curious to read the in-flight magazine.
You probably haven’t looked at the seatback pocket from this perspective, but you definitely should. In times of quick passenger changes and rapid layovers, people are more likely to leave packages and tissues behind. Unfortunately, this kind of trash is often forgotten in those seatback pockets when it comes to a conscious (or even basic) wipedown.
People have found all types of crumby, gooey, sticky, pointy, and wet items in there, and while it may seem like a bit of an exaggeration, it wouldn’t be overkill to bring a pair of disposable gloves with you on the plane.
