Management of long-haul flights

At least one of the relaxing properties of international travel is actually a long flight. Sit for hours in a snug fit in the first steel pipe to other people that strange smell is no idea of refreshments. Although the benefits of travel longer distances tend to be good for landing in a truly exotic place so unique from where you left off, the possibility of the world in a way not to explore the available generations ago.

There is aNumber of techniques that I had in my time, especially on flights terrible 12 hours between Los Angeles and Shanghai, to survive in the long run.

Before boarding

Get up. You are about to sit in a forced position for the next 6-12 hours.No no matter how bad your feet hurt, always has been. Take a walk. Browse journals. Buy a book. Go to the ladies' room 6 times. What will all that can go sit not.

Create your ownExercises. I can not explain how it was used stretching before sustained flight at long range to me. In particular, you feel like stretching your calves, feet and back, to ensure they are good and relaxed in front of all the meetings.

Get bottled water. No matter how much water is present on the floor, do not meet. They decide to buy large containers with water before the plane through (be sure to do so immediately aftersecurity).

On board

Drink plenty of water. I can not stress this enough. You must drink plenty of water. Aeronautics are usually some 'air and high CO2 emissions. They canned, dry air, and I am very, very dehydrated. After a lot of water can help you stay relaxed during the flight and to minimize jet lag after.

Get up frequently. I do not care if the guy next to you, you get up and walk on long-haul flights have disadvantagesVoli. If you do not risk acquiring blood clots in the legs (known as deep vein thrombosis), inflammation and cramps. I usually get up once an hour and go up and down the aisles. Often I'll stand (as long as the flight attendants let me) in the kitchen in the restaurant business or the bathrooms. I usually spend time stretching their legs and the movement of the floor in a slow walk.

Corporate entertainment. iPod, books, magazines, a daily crossword puzzle. Yes, all.Eight hours in a narrow tube, is not really the time to give the fun factor.

Drinking alcohol. Ok, almost all the jet lag remedies site is actually going to tell, he never did, but I usually do, and here's why. Alcohol relaxes the nerves and helps relax me in a good sleep. It also helps me avoid feelings of claustrophobia, which are usually not monitored by air. I'm just a mini-bottle of red wine here - not really make a great sauceTime. The last item you want is a long-distance skaters.
