People travel to many locations. Some people go on short trips, while others go on longer ones. There are various terminologies used in the aviation business to describe the length of a voyage, and there are some plane behaviors you should avoid at all costs, especially if it’s a lengthy flight.
There are short-haul flights that last 30 minutes to 3 hours and medium-haul flights that last 3-6 hours. Then there’s the long-haul flight, which takes between 6 and 12 hours, and the ultra-long-haul flight, which takes more than 12 hours.
To avoid having a traumatic experience during and after a long-haul journey, avoid the following habits when flying..
“I don’t want to ruin my vacation.” “I want to be as sharp as possible for my meeting.” If these and other are your concerns, you’ve come to the right place for some helpful advice. Let’s get started;
1. AVOID DRINKS WITH ALCOHOL AND CAFFEINE
One of the most common problems people encounter when flying at high altitudes is an excessively dry atmosphere. The atmosphere would be similar to that of a desert. With this understanding, it is strongly advised to avoid alcoholic and caffeine-containing beverages.
Caffeine affects sleep while alcohol dehydrates and upsets the body’s balance. On a long-haul journey, it is best to drink enough water.
2. GET ACQUAINTED WITH THE TIME ZONE YOU’RE TRAVELLING TO
Set your watch to the time zone in which you’ll be traveling. This will assist you in keeping up with the happenings of the time zone you’re visiting.
With respect to that time zone, your activities ranging from work, to sleep, to eating habits should be done accordingly. This will make it easier for the body to adjust to the new time zone when you arrive. Remember to set your watch!
3. A FEW STRETCHES WILL DO A LOT OF GOOD
One popular practice is to sit in the same posture until the person arrives. When one sits in one position for an extended period of time, blood and oxygen circulation can be hampered. Make an effort to move your body from time to time. Also, try walking along the plane’s aisle from time to time. Stretching during the journey can also be beneficial.
4. BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR EATING HABIT
Anyone who has been on a long-haul flight knows that eating is something that will call out to anyone. While in transit, keep track of what you eat and how often you eat. Salty foods should be avoided at all costs. Dehydration is the result. Keep in mind the state of the environment and eat meals that will benefit you.
5. GET KITTED-UP
When on a long-haul flight, make sure you bring some emergency supplies with you.
Eye masks for improved sleep, ear plugs to control unavoidable noises from crying babies, headphones for amusement, skin moisturizer, toothbrush and paste, face wash, and other kits are available. Get everything you’ll need for a comfortable flight.
