You should think twice before having ice on a plane

Ice served on aeroplanes can be contaminated with bacteria, according to a study. Ice trays on planes are reportedly not cleaned often, and flight attendants have limited opportunities to wash their hands. Additionally, the drinking water on many airlines may be unsafe for consumption. Researchers recommend avoiding ice and onboard water, opting for strong cocktails or bringing your own bottled beverage instead.
