Alternatively, Boots is offering a pack of five for £2.99, reduced from its original price of £5.99.
The seasoned flight attendant also suggested that applying a dab of Vicks VapoRub beneath your nose could be another effective solution.
Susannah claimed that this method is a common practice among crew members when they are assigned to collect rubbish.
She added that flight attendants regularly use essential oils such as peppermint to help shield themselves from odours in the cabin.

Flight attendant reveals the REAL reason they always greet you when you're getting on the plane, and it's got nothing to do with being polite
It comes after a savvy flight attendant revealed the £1.20 item she always takes with her whenever she boards a plane.
TikTok star Destanie Armstrong has shared the clever way she avoids having to eat unappetising plane food by packing her own quick and easy snack which can be made onboard almost all planes.
The Philadelphia-based flight attendant has racked up 70,000 followers online for her tips and tricks on how to best prepare for a flight.
With viewers being left amazed at her latest suggestion on how to keep your taste buds happy even when you're up in the air.
The 25-year-old air stewardess says she would never board a plane hungry just in case you end up fancying food during the long haul journey.
But on the rare occasion where she forgets to fuel up her body or even on extra long flights, Destanie says she will always pack a handy snack.
She told her TikTok followers: "You can't depend on these flights to have food and even if they do, a lot of the times the options aren't food."
The seasoned flyer said she always packs two pots of noodles in her hand luggage.
Almost all planes have hot water onboard, according to Destanie, meaning it is a great option to have.
It is even more useful if you either don't want to pay the high price for snacks or don't feel like eating any of the food options available.
