The author stated: "In a plane, all of the air in the cabin is continuously re-circulated." Which I have to admit it's only recirculated in the account that it needs to be cooled. Before the air on an airplane enters the gasper vents on the passenger service unit above your head. It has to go thru a precooler, and a primary, secondary heat exchanger. Then it goes thru a air cycle machine before it gets cool enough for you to enjoy. The air in the cabin is exhausted, collected, and routed under the floor by your feet to outflow valves on the aft pressure bulkhead and expelled out the back. I do agree with the author that drinking plenty of water, and washing your hands are very important. Some other things I would add! Make sure you wear loose, comfortable clothes, and get plenty of sleep that is the biggest. While flying on longer flights you should get up every hour. Just by walking the cabin or strecthing a bit. Because after all you want to minimize as much jet lag as you can. (But remember if the seat belt sign is on your getting up at your own risk, and don't gather in the galley area either.) :-) Most Airline Magazines in the back of your seat back have some travel tips! Make sure anything you carry it's 3oz or less in your carry-on's.
