• Q. Prior to and during the flight we have some advice and tips you may want to take to ensure your in-flight health and overall experience is as enjoyable as possible:

  Keep Mobile

  Walk around the cabin on a regular basis to aid circulation. When seated avoid crossing your legs and ensure you change position often. It's also advisable to have regular arm and leg stretches which helps with circulation too.

   

  Food and Drink

  It's important to keep hydrated and water and fruit juice is best for this - ask a member of cabin crew if you are thirsty. Avoid caffeine, alcohol and fizzy drinks as these can be dehydrating. Try to avoid eating heavy foods - eat light as this will aid your comfort whilst in the air by preventing bloating.

   

  Stay Comfortable

  We recommend that you wear loose fitting and comfortable clothes and shoes when flying. If you wear contact lenses we advise you remember to take your glasses as flying can dry out eyes.
