You choose the window seat on planes.
Strange but true – you can get a sunburn on a plane. It’s known that intense or long-term exposure to UVA rays can contribute to the development of skin cancer. Though the glass used in airplane windows does block most UVB rays, research has found that up to 47% of UVA rays may still be passing through.
Protect yourself whenever you’re sitting in the sunlight by using a broad-spectrum sunscreen on your hands, face, neck, and on any other exposed areas of skin.
