….Hey!  Hold on!  I’m now a COVID expert!?  No but here are some practical tips for travelers to consider-

• Wear the COVID N-95 or K-95 face mask on board;

(If you are really paranoid 😊, add a cloth or surgical mask over that)

• Carry on board-
  • Wear mask continuously
    • Disposable surgical mask- (tie-on type- not behind-ear type)
    • Hand sanitizer & hand wipes
    • Hand moisturizer
    • Some paper disposable bags

• Before initially sitting, use the hand wipes –
  • Wipe down both arm rests, seat cushion & back
    • Wipe down outside of overhead bin and latch
    • Wipe down the tray and TV if it is one of those seat-retractable ones
    • (If you are on a window seat) Wipe down side of the plane (where you would put your head to sleep) and window shutter
    • Use a fresh hand wipe to sanitize your hands and bin all the wipes into a paper bag and dispose in lavatory (see below)
    • Use moisturizer on hands

• Going to the bathroom-
  • Carry hand wipes with you
    • Use one hand wipe to open the door, get inside and lock the door and wipe the lock and door latch
    • Use another hand wipe to wipe the lid of the disposable bin and and flushing mechanism/button
    • Wash hands with soap
    • After using the bathroom, use hand wipe or sanitizer for a final clean.
    • Moisturize hands

• Continue wearing mask during entire trip

• Whenever you walk around, go to the food galley, open the overhead bin, etc, on returning back to the seat, use hand sanitizer and moisturizer

• Eating (my favorite experience on a plane! 😊)-

• Why I’m suggesting using the tie-on type of face mask is so that you keep the top portion tied on and open the bottom two ties, allowing you to feed yourself (and drink) without removing the mask portion covering the nose
  • Use hand wipes to wipe down all cutlery (we use hand wipes to wipe down thermometers, so I presume it’s safe for cutlery too)
  • Wipe down the plastic and foil covers of the food and drink
  • EAT … DEVOUR … ENJOY! 😊

• Enjoy the food … Enjoy the movie … Enjoy the flying experience … and most of all, Enjoy the sleep!

If you have any further suggestions, please do share.

BON VOYAGE!
