The aircraft blanket is often a savior, especially in a long journey or
flight
The night at that time the cabin temperature felt cold.
However, behind the comfort offered, an experienced flight attendant provides a surprising warning related to the use of blanket facilities from aircraft.
Natalie Magee, a flight attendant with a 20 -year experience, frankly does not recommend passengers to use aircraft blankets.The reason is quite disgusting: the plane blanket has the potential to become a nest of dirt.
“Maybe one of the most disgusting things I have ever seen is someone using a blanket to change their baby’s diaper,” Magee told
Travel + Leisure
.
He also added that the blanket could contain leftover hair, spill food, mushrooms, to other body fluids.
How often how often the plane blankets are washed?
The big question that then arises is, how often these blankets are washed?According to Magee, the washing frequency is very dependent on airline policies and flight types.
He explained, most airlines have procedures for washing blankets after international flights.The blanket will be washed with hot water, dried, then sealed in a plastic bag for use on the next flight.
However, the conditions are different for domestic flights.He indicates that the blanket on the domestic route may not always be washed after every use.
“On domestic flights, I have found a blanket that was instructed to be folded back and discharged back into the trash,” Magee explained.
Health risks and solutions for passengers
Using blankets that have the potential to be dirty in closed environments such as aircraft can cause some health risks.

Report potential allergen exposure, bacterial growth, to skin infections.
So, what can passengers do to stay comfortable and safe?Magee suggested that passengers bring private blankets if they are going to travel at night or long -distance flights.
But, if carrying a blanket feels troublesome, passengers can wear warm clothes or thick jackets as a substitute while in the cabin of the aircraft.
In addition, Magee gives one important tips: Use only aircraft blankets that are still sealed in plastic bags.”If it’s not in the [closed] bag, it means that the blanket is not hygienic,” he concluded.
