When travelling on an aeroplane it is very important to keep your nose moist and your nasal mucus thin as this helps to maintain a healthy Mucociliary Clearance System. This system is the first line of defense against inhaled germs, dust and allergens. It is especially important on an aeroplane in which there is a combination of dry and recycled air.
Did you know?
- Aircraft cabins combine fresh and recycled air
- Commercial aircraft cabins are pressurised and have very low humidity levels
- Most microorganisms enter the body through the nose and thrive in the nasal passages. This may increase the risk of mild upper respiratory tract infections
- The primary reason for catching a cold on a plane is the failure of the Mucociliary Clearance System
- There is a 20% incidence of common colds among passengers who fly
Travel Tips:
- Drink lots of fluids but avoid caffeine and alcohol
- Wear loose clothing
- Avoid getting too cold or chilled
- Exercise your feet and ankles often
- Walk around the cabin every 60-90 minutes for at least a few minutes
- Wash your hands regularly
