Air Travel Tips for Families and Nervous Flyers...continued

Alright! You've put on a loose and comfy pair of clothes, oiled your nostrils and that of your kids, arrived at airport with an hour and a half still to go, and DECIDED that this time you're NOT indulging in in-flight meals and drinks. Is there anything else that we should consider?? Think hard. What have you found?? Nothing? Maybe you didn't get a good sleep last night and so you think you'll take a nap during the flight, yes? But that's what you should avoid!

Stay Awake, Don't Doze Off!
Most experts warn against sleeping on the plane. It's important that we adjust our sleep cycle from jetlag, not duirng the day, but at night. So, one must avoid sleeping during the flight if it arrives at night. True, you might be tired after landing. But it would a lot easier to hit the sack and wake up afresh, no?

More Oxygen
If you think your cabin is getting stuffy, ask your flight attendant to request the pilot for "less recirculated air, and more fresh air". If it's still stuffy, request an oxygen bottle.

Consider Exercises
We all know that exercise is vital for steady blood circulation. But on board, the importance much higher. You don't have to pump the irons! Just do some easy stuff like contracting and relaxing the muscles, or just get up and walk around the cabin. It's nothing embarrasing.

Goodbye Cocktails!
Never!!?? Oy, it's only for the flight. Yes, Alcohol and coffee dehydrates the body, which in turn prolongs jetlag. So, we gottta avoid alcohol and live on WATER. Besides, cabin air is so dry that it will just put the Sahara and Atacama to shame! Water is the Word!

Happy Flying!!

Air Travel Tips for Families and Nervous Flyers

Bang on the Blogspace!! After a brief hiatus, I'm back here again to discuss family travel issues. My neighbor was flying for the nth time, yet she was panicky about air travel issues like health, safety and that coveted peace of mind. This morning, Heidi left for San Francisco on one of her usual duty-assignments. Early morning, honey and I bumped into while we're jogging down the park. She was so nervous about her flight! True, from over-the-top to downright horrible, flying experiences vary across passengers. So, why not jot down a few tips and tricks for a better flying experience. I don't want us to be nervous flyers.

Food is Number One Priority:
With cartloads of snacks, munchies and meals rolling down the aisle, it's hard to resist the temptation of in-flight food, no? But experts suggest that one should load the tummy right at home. That is, before starting for the airport, we eat carbohydrate food and tide over the flight duration. Not to be lured by the looks-so-appetizing in-flight meals. This also helps reduce jetlag, plus saves you from all the chemical preservatives that come free with food on board.

Dress up for the Flight:
So, what does that mean? Do we need to dress up like we do for the party? Of course not! Air travel demands loose clothing. The low-pressure environment inside the aircraft is just like a mountain resort, where our bodies swell up! Tight clothes can block circulation and create a lot of complexities. Belts, girdles, tight bras, tight wedding rings and, tight shoes are STRICT NOs!

Early at the Airport??
Do you mind arriving at the airport a bit early? If yes, you must reconsider. Arriving early is the key to stress-free pre-boarding. You know all those security check and check-in formalities. Plus you have a better seat selection, no?

Keeping Germs at Bay:
Aircraft cabins are perhaps among the most crowded compartments on earth! Add to it the low ceiling and less-of-fresh air aspects. Such an environment is the ideal breeding ground for viruses. What we want to do in this situation is to apply food-grade oil to the nostrils, so that viruses cannot enter our immune system through the tiny cracks in the membranes. Did you forget the kids?? The same things apply for them as well. So, be mindful.
