Flight attendant warns of 'germ hotspot' on a plane - surprisingly it's not the toilet

Travelling by plane can sometimes be an uncomfortable experience, particularly for those who are scared of flying or anyone who gets sat next to a screaming child for the whole duration of the journey. We often hear horror stories of drunken passengers causing havoc on a flight, or awful turbulence that makes everyone feel unwell, but how often do you consider the hygiene on a plane?

One former flight attendant has revealed which areas of a plane you should be most cautious of when it comes to germs, and the worst culprit is surprisingly not the toilet. She urges people to bring their own antibacterial wipes onto a flight to protect themselves from any bacteria and grime as sometimes these areas of a plane aren't always cleaned between each journey.
