Do Airplanes Make Allergies Worse?
Yes, they can! Dry cabin air, recycled particles, and close contact with other passengers can aggravate allergy symptoms, especially in kids.
Here are a few easy tips for traveling with allergies this summer:
Use a saline nasal spray before and after your flight to moisten your nasal passages.
Pack antihistamines or other allergy meds in your carry-on if symptoms flare mid-flight.
Wipe down tray tables and armrests to reduce dust and allergen exposure.
Stay hydrated. Drink water frequently to combat dry air.
See an allergist before you go to prep your family with a travel-ready plan.
