Air Supply

Plane Clean Air Filter

You’re all about clearing the air. With the ex-bestie you busted banging your sweetie (they’re perfect together). With the nasty bossaroo who fired you for having the rage. And even mean old mom after she called you fat (okay, maybe you had put on a few).

So, of course, you’ll want to clear the stale air on your next flight. And now you can — with a nifty clean air filter.

The little blue contraption attaches to the overhead nozzle and removes viruses and bacteria from the air stream using an electrostatic-charged filter. How many cooties can it handle? According to an independent lab, about 99.5 percent of them. (And germaphobes everywhere rejoice.)

The filter is easily installed and reusable. Yes, you can control air flow. And the price tag, $19.99, is pretty cheap for fresh air and a little airborne sanity.

So the next time your neighbor hacks up a lung, you can breathe easy — literally and figuratively.

A marked improvement over your usual temper tantrums.
