Safe alternatives to using that nasty, disgusting seat pocket on a plane

You don’t want to know the items flight attendants have found in seat pockets. What you should know is to never use them. Here are two safer options:

• The Airplane Pocket from Amazon slips over your tray table for a clean eating and working surface. It has four expandable pockets to store your phone, water and other small items. It folds up and is machine washable.

• If you have a sling bag, take it with you and loop it around the tray table. Away has a great sling bag; to get a $20 off code, email Jan with The Travel 100.
