Tips for a Comfortable International Flight Journey

by Vivek Thakur Employee

In recent times, especially in India, travelling by air has really caught up with people with flight bookings being made in thousands, each day. As a result, new entrants are coming into the Indian aviation market; thereby, offering more options to people, both in terms of pricing as well as comfort. Experts believe this is just the beginning, and the boom in this industry is still to happen. All domestic and international airlines offering their services within and outside India are taking all measures to woo potential customers and offering them great services; comfort being one of them. However, for a comfortable international flight journey, say on Mumbai to Dubai, Kolkata to Brisbane or Delhi to Mauritius flights, there are certain things that you need to do at your end.

 

Proper Clothing

 

This is one aspect of air travel that most travelers do not take notice, but it is actually quite essential. Experts suggest that you should always wear 2-3 layers of clothes when you are travelling on a flight. The reason being the temperature in the flight, most of the times, is kept low and many feel the chill. Therefore, if you are wearing 2-3 layers of clothing, you will not feel the chilling effect. However, it is to be kept in mind that the temperature outside may be entirely different from that within the aircraft. So, when the pilot announces the outside temperature just before landing at the destination, you should remove or add another layer of clothing as required.

 

Eating Properly

 

If you are one of those people who are easily affected by motion, then you should avoid eating too much on the flight as it may cause nausea. Also, regular travelers suggest that it is always better to eat light during a journey as overeating sometimes can cause a lot of trouble. However, one thing they suggest is drinking a lot of liquids as long flights can dehydrate your body; though coffee should be avoided any cost if you are already dehydrated.

 

Taking Rest

 

On a long flight, it is advisable to stay away from too much of television or reading as it takes a toll on the eyes. Therefore, catching some sleep during the journey is not a bad idea as you do not feel the fatigue when you reach your destination. Since many airlines offer flat beds in their premium class and first class, sleeping is not an issue at all.

 

Exercising

 

Seats on international flights are quite comfortable, but sitting there for long hours can be quite uncomfortable. Therefore, it is important to do some stretching in between or simply taking a walk in the aisle, just to relax your muscles and to avoid any cramps.

 

These are a few tips that should definitely come in handy when you have booked your flight tickets to travel to an international destination, especially if it is a long-haul journey.
