Air Travel Health Tips

By Faisal Khan




Most travelers don't have any problems when flying, but here are some tips for you to have a safer and more comfortable trip.

  • Always carry enough and bring extra of your medicines to last your whole trip, and sometime after. 
  • Airplane air is dry, drink nonalcoholic and decaf beverages to avoid becoming dehydrated. 
Avoiding Jet Lag
  1. Eat well balanced meals, and don't over eat. 
  2. Do not have too many alcoholic beverages. 
  3. Get used to a new time zone by following the local meal and bedtime schedules. 
  4. Be rested before you leave for your trip. 
  5. Exercise while on your trip. 
Pain in ears during flight
If your  ears hurt during your flight, try chewing gum or swallowing a lot during the flight. Pacifiers during the flight help babies.

What to do during your flight
Try to walk every now and then during your flight, and stretch your calf muscles to avoid blood clots in the legs.

  1. I got very useful and good information from your Blog. Crossing the International Date Line does not contribute to jet lag, as the guide for calculating jet lag is the the number of time zones crossed, and the maximum possible disruption is plus or minus twelve hours.
