What’s Lurking on Airplane Tray Tables? A Traveler’s Guide to Staying Confidently Clean


Ever wonder what’s really on that tray table where you rest your snack — or your head?
Studies have shown that airplane tray tables rank among the most frequently touched yet least cleaned surfaces during a flight. From spilled coffee to sneezes, they collect a surprising mix of unwanted guests.

So what can you do?

  • Pack smart: Bring a gentle hand gel like Avlo Travel & Cruise for quick cleanups when soap and water are out of reach.
  • Wipe down your space: A quick swipe of common-touch areas — such as the tray table, armrest, and seatbelt buckle — makes a big difference.
  • Keep hands fresh: Use Avlo before meals or snacks and after handling luggage or restrooms.

Stay confident, not paranoid.
Flying shouldn’t feel stressful. With a tiny bottle of Avlo in your bag, you can focus on the adventure ahead, not the tray table behind.
