Management of long-haul flights

One of the least relaxing properties in international travel is actually a long flight journey. Meeting for several hours in a tight fit in a steel tube close to other people smell funny is that no idea of refreshments. Although the advantage of long-haul travel to be good, they tend to get off at a truly exotic unique know where you disconnected the possibility that the world in a way to explore not available for generations before.

UsA number of techniques that I had in my time, especially for flights horrible than 12 hours between Los Angeles and Shanghai, to survive for long distance.

Before joining

Stand up, sat down in a difficult situation for the next 6-12 hours.No no matter how badly hurt his feet, still standing. Take a walk. Browse journals. Buy a book. Go to the ladies' room six times. That will last forever just do not sit down.

Create your ownExercises. I can not explain how stretching has extended a long haul flight I needed. In particular, it will definitely your request, calves, feet and back stretch to be sure they are good and relaxed before, all sitting.

Take bottled water for drinking. No matter how much water comes in, is not sufficient. They will decide to purchase large containers with water before the level (watch only thank him aftersecurity controls).

On board

Drink plenty of water. I do not stress this enough. You must drink plenty of water. Aircraft are usually low air and high CO2 emissions. They offer canned, dry air, and are very, very draining. After a lot of water during the flight can help to minimize jet lag and relaxing stay later.

Get up frequently. I do not care if the person next to you uncomfortable, you have to get up and walk on long flights. If you do not,Could result in the acquisition leg blood clot (known as deep vein thrombosis), inflammation and cramps. I usually get up, and once an hour and down the aisles. Often I'll be (if the flight attendants left me) in the kitchen near the food service, or baths. I usually spend my time stretching my legs and the air circulates in slow walking.

Take entertainment. iPod, books, magazines, a newspaper crossword. Yes, everyone. Eight hours over anarrow tube is not really the time to give up the fun factor.

Drinking alcohol. Okay, almost all the jet lag cure site really tell you can never get it done, but I usually do, and why. Alcohol relaxes the nerves and helps relax me in a good sleep. It also helps me avoid feelings of claustrophobia, which is usually not controlled airplanes. Are only a mini-bottle of red wine here - not really take the sauce big time. The last pointIt is a long-distance skating.
