The Cleanliness Of The Planes
If you’re particularly partial to cleanliness and have to travel by air often, you might want to skip this next bit: Airlines have a limited number of planes, and a desire to maximize their flight time. The longer a plane sits on the tarmac, the more money the airline loses. This means that while turnover crews do vacuum the carpets and empty the trash, they don’t spend much time going over the tray tables, seats and windows.
Since the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) doesn’t oversee plane cleanliness, airlines pretty much dictate their own levels of sanitary thoroughness, which can mean planes are often not as clean as you’d like them to be.
