7. Bring earplugs. Airplane noises can disrupt sleep. If you use earplugs, use a clean pair. Do not introduce bacteria into the ears. And use the soft earplugs or sterile cotton, which will not block your ability to hear announcements--there may be an emergency.
9. Bring a sweater and socks.The airplane cabin can become drafty and, if you get cold, you will wake up. The blankets are not cleaned between flights.
Hmmmmm, seems like Diana from CNN is a bit anal about hygiene.
