Flying Excitement
Whether on a short- or long-
haul journey, flying can be a pleasant experience if you are well-prepared.
For that,
here are some simple steps
to ensure you are enjoys, have a safe, comfortable journey and smooth.
1OnBoard Care
Aircraft cabins are
generally very dry and dehydration can occur easily. To overcome this problem:
Drink-
a lots of water but ensure the intake is slow
and regular. Drinking too much water at one go will cause the body to expel the
water quickly too, forcing you to visit the toilet frequently also. Huhuhu… Be
careful.
Lubricate-
your eyes with eye drops, as eyes are
aggravated by dry atmosphere. Also, ditch the contact lenses and opt for
spectacles during your flight.
Avoid-
coffee, tea and alcohol or keep intake to a
minimum.
Hydrate-
your skin by applying moisturiser or spraying a
body spritzer on exposed body parts.
2Inflight Exercises
Don’t forget to Exercise during
your flight.
Chest
Stretch-Sit upright with arms held on
either side of the body, and push both elbows back while stretching the spine.
You should feel the stretch in your back.
Lower
Limbs/Buttocks Stretch-Sit straight and cross your
right leg over your left leg. Hold your right knee with both hands and lean
forward. Hold for 10 seconds, and repeat on the other side.
Shoulder
Stretch-Place your right hand horizontally
in the crook of your left elbow and press gently against your chest. Hold for
10 seconds, repeat on the other side.
3Ear Comfort
Changes in air pressure or altitude
cause our ears to ‘POP’ and sometimes ache during take-off and also landing
time. For a comfortable flying experience, suck on sweets or, mimic the act of
chewing and swallowing if you do not have any sweets with you. This will
relieve the discomfort and help stabilise the pressure in the ear canals.
Pacifiers will work just as well for toddlers. If you have a cold, use a nasal
decongestant to clear your nasal passage and alleviate the ache.
4Beat The Lag
Comfortable
travel is important.
Nobody likes arriving at
their destination with dark circles around their eyes!!!
Comfort kit now easy you can
find it and it will helps you stay cosy and well-rested during your flight. If
you want to buy the comfort kits don’t forget to select the kit comes with an
inflatable neck pillow, an eye mask, a woven blanket and a pouch. It’s a complete
sets you will have.
5Prevent DVT-Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
Can occur when a blood clot
forms in the large veins of the legs or arms, blocking blood circulation. In
activity during long flights may lead to the occurrence of DVT. If you are
flying long distance, ensure you perform inflight exercises such as those
listed above as a precaution against developing DVT. When possible and
permissible, stretch your legs and walk along the aisle. Be aware of symptoms
such as pain or swelling in the legs, which can happen even after you
disembark. Seek medical attention if these occur.
