Meat Dishes

The chicken or beef might smell pretty good when it comes by, but you should be aware that the food may have been reheated multiple times. That leaves the meat quite squishy and microwaving food kills all of the nutrients. If there is a vegetarian option, try that. 

Tap Water

This one should be a given, but do not drink any of the tap water. You’re not saving money by going to the bathroom to fill up your water bottle, instead, you may be making yourself very sick. The tap water used in the washrooms comes from tanks that are only cleaned once a year. That makes those tanks bacteria central and you could become very sick while enroute.

Tea and Coffee

That same water used for the bathrooms is what is boiled and turned into tea and coffee on long haul flights. No matter how thirsty you are, always ask for bottled water or bring a large bottle of it yourself. Nobody wants to arrive at their destination sick when it could have been avoided.

Budget

First, you need to set a budget for the number of days you want to spend on your staycation. If you have a travel fund saved for a fun time abroad, consider using a portion of that fund for a luxurious stay close to home. You can also put away money with each paycheck and go on a budget friendly trip within your own city. 

Location

Research different tourist destinations within your country, or state. Sometimes great boutique hotels or lodges are overlooked because they are close to home. These can be a great place to spend a weekend, learning about where you live. If you live next to the ocean, consider visiting a nearby island. 

Something New

Often the best experiences come out of trying something new. Activities like bungee jumping, skydiving, or even a day spent at the spa can be like going on a holiday. Book a nice hotel or Airbnb for the weekend and get out of your comfort zone.

Here are some things you’ll want to do while traveling by plane in order to avoid contracting an illness.

Wash Your Hands Frequently

Washing your hands is the most important defense against contracting an illness. If you wash your hands after using the restroom and before eating meals and snacks, you will minimize your risk of getting sick greatly, especially when in close contact with many other people when traveling by plane.

Try Not to Touch Your Face

Keep your hands away from your face! Your nose, eyes, and mouth all provide potential entrances for viruses and bacteria into your body, so try to keep your hands away from your face while on a plane or in an airport.

Sanitize Your Seat Area

While airlines generally try to clean and sanitize their plane cabins after flights, it is sometimes simply impossible to do it thoroughly. So, it’s smart to be proactive and sanitize with sanitizer or wipes your own tray table and seat area while flying in order to kill any possible microbes left behind.

Here are some strategies that will help you stay healthy while flying.

Get Up and Move

Aside from germs, bacteria, and viruses, one of the main dangers to your health on a plane is a condition called DVT (deep vein thrombosis). These blood clots, which can be fatal if serious, sometimes form during the long periods of time in which people are still on flights. To combat this, raise your legs in your seat or get up and move around every so often on long flights.

Bring Hand Sanitizer

Hand sanitizer is portable, cheap, and a superweapon in the fight against getting sick. Planes are closed spaces in which all kinds of germs get trapped from sick people, so be sure to sanitize your hands with your own personal sanitizer before touching your face or eating.

Take Vitamin Supplements Beforehand

There are many vitamin supplements on the market, including brands such as Airborne and Emergen-C, which give your immune system a boost before flying. Start taking these supplements a few days before your flight to give your body protection against sicknesses.
