On Board Travel Advice

Most airlines have accumulated a great deal of knowledge and experience about the effects of air travel on the body. Airlines now offer a number of measures to maximise your comfort and awareness, especially during longhaul flights.

Consider the following recommendations on your next flight:

Try not to sit still for too long. When it is convenient, get up and move about the cabin and stretch your arms and legs every so often.

Go for a light meal and drink plenty of water. Go easy on alcohol, coffee and tea.

Sleep it off. Help your body cope better when travelling to new time zones by taking the opportunity to sleep en route. Every little nap will help. And also don't forget to remove your contact lenses before you sleep.
