Here are our top tips for flying as comfortably as possible…
- Pack your medicines (homeopathic and prescribed) in your on-board hold-all so that you’re prepared for any emergency.
- Eat and drink alcohol in moderation, but have as much water as you like to prevent dehydration.
- Wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothes made of natural fibres.
- Make sure your shoes can handle expanding ankles and swollen feet.
- Get up every two hours while on board: stretch and go to the bathroom to freshen up.
- Do the on-board exercises shown in the in-flight magazine.
- Always set your watch to the time of your destination so that your body has the duration of the flight to adjust to this new reality.
- Walk as much as you can once you’ve arrived at your destination – it will help to get the circulation going.
- Scrub your body vigorously in the shower or bath to dislodge unwanted build-up of fluids.
- Take a short nap on arrival that revives you without interfering with your night-time sleep.
