A FLIGHT attendant of more than 10 years has revealed the travel product she makes sure to always put in her hand luggage.<\/p>\n
And it's not just flight attendants – even astronauts used it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Emily, who has been a flight attendant since 2012, has spent more than a decade flying around Asia and Europe.<\/p>\n
She recently revealed her top products that she always packs to make her job easier.<\/p>\n
And one of them will not only prevent you from getting sick, but it is even NASA-approved.<\/p>\n
She told Yahoo: "I don\u2019t think it\u2019s a miracle product to ward off colds the way that it was advertised.<\/p>\n
"But it really keeps the inside of your nasal cavity lubricated, so I don\u2019t feel like a dried-up corpse after long-haul flights."<\/p>\n Called the Ponaris Nasal Emollient, it contains oils including pine, peppermint and eucalyptus.<\/p>\n Sadly you can't currently get the product in the UK, although it costs around $20 in the US.<\/p>\n Used to reduce nasal congestion as well as inflamed nasal passages, it was included in the NASA medical space kit<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Plane cabins are often much drier than the ground due to the high altitudes.<\/p>\n As the aircraft brings in air from the outside, the cold air has less moisture than the air below.<\/p>\n This can lead to the inside of your nose drying up, and make you more susceptible to illnesses, as it doesn't have a mucus barrier.<\/p>\n Using a nasal spray on the plane can also help with ear pain.<\/p>\n Ex-flight attendant Miffy previously explained: "A squirt of decongestant nasal spray up each nostril will help a bit with ear pain before flying as it helps clear out the Eustachian tubes. (Nothing else will.)<\/p>\n "Obviously not something you want to use all the time as they wreck your nasal mucosal lining with long-term usage but for flights, they\u2019re a god-send."<\/p>\n Here are some other travel items frequent flyers often pack, including a \u00a34 item that keeps your suitcase fresh.<\/p>\n<\/picture>EAR WE GO<\/span><\/p>\n
