Not the lavatory but this is the filthiest place on a plane. Find out here

As soon as we take our seats on a plane we tend to pick up the instructions manual or keep our boarding passes, or other things inside the back pocket of the seat in front us. But let us tell you why you should never touch that back pocket ever again.

Passengers litter it with grossest of things

According to flight attendants and staffs that’s one of the filthiest places on a plane. Passengers put some really gross things in there that cleaning crews find after the flight. Dirty tissues, sick bags, knickers, socks, half chewed gums, half eaten candies or fruit remains are some of them and apparently these pockets are never cleaned according to a Reddit user and long-haul flight attendant. So, just imagine how dirty the seat-back pockets are and the number of germs and infections they contain.

Best way to stay away from germs

Besides seat-back pockets, your tray tables to luggage cabins and chair handles are hubs of bacteria and viruses. The best way to combat germs is to never use the seat back pockets or use hand sanitizers as much as possible.
