ENJOYABLE AIR TRALEV
AIR TRAVEL IS FAST, CONVENIENT AND SAFE. ALTHOUGH THE AIRCRAFT CABIN ENVIRONMENT IS CONTROLLED FOR PASSENGERS’COMFORT, THERE IS ADIFFERENCE BETWEEN AIR PRESSURE AND HUMIDITY IN THE AIRCRAFT CABIN & ON THE GROUND. HERE ARE SOME TIPS FOR MORE ENJOYABLE & COMFORTABLE AIR TRAVEL.
CABIN HUMIDITY
Aircraft cabin humidity is usually 15 percent, which is fairly dry.This can cause herydration, so we recommend that you drink water & juices frequently.Don’t drink coffee, tea & alcohol ! Also, wearing eyeglasses instead of contact lenses can ease eye irritation in the cabin.
CABIN PRESSURE
Cabin pressure is maintained at around 8000ft (2450m).This is usually well tolerated by healthy passengers but those who are sensitive to pressure change or who have a vulnerable physical condition such as lung disease, severe anaemia, heart disease, or even a common cold, might feel uncomfortable.Aslo, your ears might feel blocked because of pressure changes. To clear your ears, try moving your jaw, smallowing water, chewning. The Valsalva mannoeuvre (blowing your nose softly with your mouth closed and nose pinched) can also help.
FOOD & DRINK
Always eat & drink in moderation. Heavy meals can lead to indigestion & gas-forming beverages like soda or beer can cause mild bloadting & intertinal discomfort.
MOTION SICKNESS
If you are prone to motion sickness, try to ensure a restful night before you fly. When in-flight, eat lightly & keep your eyes fixed on a non-moving object. If you start to fell nauseous, drop your seat back, close your eyes and breath deeply.
