If air travel is unavoidable, there are some steps you can take to protect yourself. If possible, choose a window seat. A study from Emory University found that during flu season, the safest place to sit on a plane is by a window, as people sitting in window seats had less contact with potentially sick people. Disinfect hard surfaces. (Using wipes on upholstered seats could lead to a wet seat and spreading of germs rather than killing them.)
