The first thing you do when you get on a plane is to take out anti-bacterial wet wipes and give your entire seat area a good wipe. You’d rather suffer 10 lousy airplane meals than stick your fingers into the seat pocket in front of you, for fear of what germs lie beneath. You die die won’t go to the washroom during a flight because…eww.

If everything in the above paragraph sounds familiar to you, here’s a whiff of good news. Skytrax has released survey results of the cleanest airlines in the world, and Asian airlines dominate the Top 30 standings. The list was compiled by the same folks who named Singapore Airlines the top airline in the world last year, so you know it’s legit.

We always knew the Japanese knew a thing or two about keeping things pristine. Topping the list is ANA All Nippon Airways. But wait, it’s not the only Japanese carrier in the top 5 — Japan Airlines claimed the fifth spot. EVA Air came in at no. 2; Asiana Airlines, no. 3; and Singapore Airlines occupied fourth position.

The Skytrax survey was conducted among passengers who rated airlines based on the cleanliness and presentation of seat areas, tables, carpets, cabin panels and washrooms.

The first non-Asian entrant into the Top 10 is Swiss International Air Lines, which is in 8th place, followed by Lufthansa who just managed to edge its way in at no. 10. Airlines hailing from the US didn’t fare as well — not one had claimed a spot in the Top 30. In fact, even the Best Airline Cabin Cleanliness in North America accolade went to Air Canada, though it’s not stated how far down it placed on the overall worldwide ranks.

Just last month, British Airways announced that it was testing out not cleaning the aircraft in between flights to shorten turnaround times and reduce delays. Flight crew were told not to touch the seat pockets, fix seatbelts or pick up trash after the plane had landed. This was done over a four-day period in between certain flights at one of its “shortest European route” destinations. It may just be a test trial, but we’re packing extra wet tissues to wipe down the seats next time. You know, just in case.

According to a 2015 study, the airplane’s tray table is the dirtiest of all surfaces and locations of the plane. Yep, the three-second rule definitely doesn’t apply when you’re dining onboard.

In previous reports, airline insiders revealed that the first flight of the day is the cleanest one. Deep cleaning on the aircraft usually happens overnight, when a cleaning team is hauled in to wipe down and disinfect seats and tray tables, as well as give the bathrooms a proper scrubdown. Oh, and those airline-supplied blankets and pillows that you think are oh-so-cosy? They’re usually only replaced for the first flight of the day. In fact, cabin crew let in that some airlines simply reuse the blankets and pillows for the next flight, at least in Economy Class.
