Love the aisle seat on a plane? While aisle seats are usually a popular choice for their easy access to the toilet and legroom, it could be the wrong option for winter.<\/p>\n

A travel expert has explained why they\u2019d choose to avoid the aisle seat during the winter and it might surprise some tourists.<\/p>\n

Yasmin Pekel, travel expert at Blue Cruise, said: \u201cResearch indicates that those seated in the aisle are more at risk of catching germs, as you\u2019ll come into contact with a far greater number of people during your flight.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re concerned about catching something, it\u2019s a sensible idea to choose a window seat instead.\u201d<\/p>\n

Winter is usually the worst season for sickness with germs and bugs as people are more likely to spend time inside where it\u2019s easier for things to spread.<\/p>\n

Britons have been warned about an outbreak of norovirus with cases of the vomiting bug rising quickly.<\/p>\n

Passengers in the aisle seat are much more likely to come into close contact with a range of people than those tucked away in the window seat.<\/p>\n

However, travellers shouldn\u2019t be overly concerned. Yasmin added: \u201cAeroplane air is usually circulated through hospital grade filters, designed to contain and remove bacteria. This means that germs are unlikely to be directly transmitted beyond a metre.\u201d<\/p>\n

Planes can be hotbeds for germs as flight attendants often don\u2019t have much to clean the aircraft on a busy schedule.<\/p>\n

A former flight attendant previously warned\u00a0Express.co.uk\u00a0that the tray table is usually one of the dirtiest spots on a plane.<\/p>\n

Passengers might use a tray table for much more than eating and there have even been reports of people changing dirty nappies on there.<\/p>\n
