PASSENGER planes are swarming with germs — but the dirtiest spots are the pockets on the back of the seats, warns a veteran flight attendant. Kat Kamalani urges passengers to bring sanitizing wipes on flights and wipe down areas like tray tables, air vents, seatbelt buckles and safety guides. But her biggest no-no is: “Do not touch the backseat pocket. “They clean them out between flights but they don’t sanitize them. Think of all the dirty tissues, barf bags and garbage that has been in there.” Another wipe-down must are the fold-out eating tables. “I have seen so many parents use this as a changing table for their child’s diaper and then they put it in the backseat pocket,” she notes. And don’t forget to wipe the air vents, she…
