Long distance flights are a serious test. Even those who calmly endure two to three hour flights are usually surprised to find that a 10 hour flight is much more difficult to endure. A few rules will help you better prepare for your flight and make it easier to reschedule it.
It is necessary
- - headrest pillow,
- - a book,
- - woolen socks, warm jacket,
- - hand cream,
- - moisturizing nose drops,
- - lip balm,
- - remedies for the common cold (if you have a cold).
Instructions
Step 1
Buy a headrest pillow in advance to sleep in your chair. You can use a blindfold, earplugs, and a back roller if you have problems with it. The longer you sleep during the flight, the less discomfort you will feel. Some of these little things are underestimated, but they are really much more comfortable to sleep with in flight. If the plane is not too crowded, then you can try to settle in even more comfort: go to the back seats and take two or three of them. This way you can sleep while lying down. Experienced travelers always take advantage of this opportunity.
Step 2
Liners designed for long-term prelates usually have a personal media center for each passenger. Use it to pass the time. This is a screen located on the back of the forward seat. The flight attendant will give you individual headphones. In the media center, you can find music, movies, games, and even books. Also, you will most likely be able to track exactly where the plane is flying right now and what the weather is at the place of arrival. The only problem may be that if you are flying with a non-Russian airline, the films will only be in English. In this case, it is recommended to take a book with you on the road - paper or electronic.
Step 3
Don't sit in your seat all the time. From time to time it is helpful to get up and walk around the cabin to stretch your legs, this will help to avoid stagnation of blood and swelling of the legs. You should not do this when the plane enters the turbulence zone, but you will always know about it, as the “fasten your seat belts” display will light up, and the stewardess will definitely ask you to take your seat.
Step 4
Take warm wool socks. Sitting in shoes for a long time is too comfortable, and without them it will be cold to your feet. Also, don't forget a warm jacket. If it is not there, you can ask for a blanket (they are not everywhere).
Step 5
Do not worry. Some people are afraid to fly, and then the flight is so long. But panic hasn't done anyone a good service yet. If you are very worried and cannot cope with yourself, then take a sedative or sleeping pill with you, drink valerian before the flight. What you shouldn't do to relax is drink alcohol on board.
Step 6
Try to drink as much water as possible, as dehydration is a very important problem that can make you feel less comfortable on a long flight. Try to avoid alcohol as it makes your legs swell. Increased coffee consumption (several times per flight) can lead to the same effect. Hand cream, lip balm and nose drops will help you cope with dry airplane air.
