  • Unusual Uses for Hot Towels

    If you sit in first class on a Delta or Northwest flight, you will be given a hot towel shortly before a meal is served. I was always told that hot towels were to cleanse the hands prior to eating. Other people I have sat next to on various flights have had different ideas on what the towels were meant for.

    1. Polishing shoes
    2. Draped over the face as one would do prior to a barber’s shave
    3. Rubbing the breasts
    4. Folded up and tucked into the purse. Still wet.
    5. Cleaning ears
    6. Wiping down the armrests and seatback (probably not a bad idea, actually)
    7. Blowing nose into
    8. What have you seen people do with hot towels?
