The tray table is known for being one of the dirtiest places on the plane.

Sun Online Travel’s resident flight attendant previously warned: “The tray tables can be disgusting – I’d always recommend bringing some alcohol wipes and giving it a clean before you sit down.

“Trust me, I’ve seen people using the trays to change their baby’s nappies, rest their bare feet and all sorts. You don’t want to be eating off that, do you?

“As much as we’d love to give everything a thorough scrub, we don’t always have time to and it’s always better to be safe than sorry.

And several travel experts have raved about a clever travel item that prevents having to touch the table.

You can now buy tray table covers which slip onto the plane seat table.

Not only does it stop you getting sick, but it comes with extra pockets – so you have more space to put things rather than the seat pocket.

One travel writer said on CNN: “I found the cover to be exceptionally useful for most travellers who are looking to boost their in-flight organization.”

“I can see it being particularly helpful and convenient for those travelling with little ones, as it’s the perfect pocket for storing all the snacks, bottles, toys, burp cloths and more that parents may need close by.”

They also raved about it being machine-washable, and saying it was “perfect for long-haul flights” and those travelling with kids.

She finished by saying: “At a price point that won’t break the bank and given the fact that it’s machine-washable to use over and over again, it’s a sound investment.”.

Another travel editor, Meaghan Kenny, sung its praises too.

She said: “It’s the simple travel accessories like this one that can make all the difference on your next flight.”

We’ve found similar tray table covers for as little as £17 on Amazon.

People who bought the covers rated it highly in the reviews too.

One woman said “even [the] air steward loved them”.

Or you can buy disposable plastic ones for around £14.
