More Flight Strategies

It's often difficult to maintain your health and to feel good while on a flight. The air is dry, everyone is breathing into the same system and the flight can wear you down. Here are some tips to try to stay refreshed and feeling great, even on a long flight.

1. Bring a moisturizer with you. Planes are incredibly dry. Bring a moisturizer on the flight with you - both for your hands and legs and for your lips. This will help you to prevent chapped lips and to keep your body moisturized throughout the flight.

2. Use a sleeping mask. Sometimes on flights they give you an eye patch to place over your eyes so that you can sleep. Most regular flights, however, don't' give you anything like this. Bring along something to cover your eyes (and to put in your ears) if this will help you to sleep. The more you sleep on a flight, and the more refreshed you are after the flight, the better you'll feel.

3. Water - drink a lot of water during a flight to keep your body replenished. Get up every so often and ask the flight attendant for some water. Sometimes they will even give you an entire bottle if you bother them enough! Drink drink and drink...it's very important.
Keep these three tips with you and enjoy your travel this summer! Bon Voyage!
