Why You Should Never Turn Off The AC Over Your Seat On A Plane

That little air conditioner above your seat on a plane seems to only be there to blow cold air on you when you're already chilly, but it turns out you should just put on a hoodie and let the AC run - it might be preventing you from getting sick.

The years you spent thinking the plane's AC helps spread germs are over - the truth is it's preventing you from getting sick!
