Best tip - learned here on another thread:
Carry your own pen and use it. Ever realize how often you are asked to sign stuff - credit card receipts and car rental agreements, etc.... I'm sure if they tested the pens most are nasty.
My father who had a heart transplant 2 years ago carries antibacterial wet naps with him - individually wrapped.

No. Don't take
OJ and this will alleviate mucus in your system! Yes you should take lots of Vitamin C... one of the best is apple juice or cranberry mix.
I always take anti-oxidants in capsules form or take lots of anti-oxidants rich food a day or two before I travel. Or at least have a constant diet of anti-oxidant rich foods like carrots, green vegetables, apples.. to name a few. If I take the capsules... I take 1 before the flight, and if it's a long flight, 1 more about halfway through.. and 1 upon landing.
Yes.. carrying individual antibacterial wet-naps will help. I always get strange looks when I board and wipe down the headrests and armrests of my seat (even in F class) before I sit down. But you know what? The wipes always come out BLACKISH.... so you can imagine the kind of germs lingering there before.
I also take homeopathic remedies which help alleviate jet-lag, and other nasties associated with time zone travels. I won't go into it right now.. but I hardly get jet lag. So it works...
Check out with your local health food stores for the above..
Good luck
