7 Ways to Fly in Comfort

Arrive at your destination feeling more refreshed, relaxed and ready to have a fantastic vacation by employing these easy, handy tips when sitting in coach:

1) Seek Out the Best Seats - Request a seat that’s away from galleys, lavatories and engines where there can be noise and smells galore.  Visit the invaluable website, www.seatguru.com where you can find out where the good, bad and ugly seats are on the aircraft you’ll be flying on.

2) Quell Queasiness – If you suffer from motion sickness easily, seats in the over wing area are your best as you’ll experience less turbulence.

3)  Compress for Success - Compression socks or flight socks, available at pharmacies, provide a light massaging effect on your legs and keep DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) at bay as they keep blood from pooling at your ankles.

4) Deal with Dryness – Airplanes are dry as deserts so moisturize your skin and lips in flight and wear glasses instead of contact lenses. Drink a few glasses of water before boarding and then a glass of water for each hour you`re in flight. Avoid caffeinated and carbonated drinks which can be deyhdrating and/or unhealthy.

5) Eat the Good Stuff -  Take nutritious snacks such as fruit and veggies, nuts, granola bars and dried fruit.

6)  Equip Yourself – Pack an eye mask, travel pillow and ear plugs. Rather than taking a bulky blanket, dress in warm, comfy clothes.

7)   S-T-R-E-T-C-H – Do stretches in your seat and at the back of the plane. Walk around the cabin every hour or so.

    Good tips for plane trips. I would only add a dose of airborne to ward off those germs from the sneezy guy next to you.
