5 tips for a comfortable and safe flight
Pack light, avoid greasy foods, take advantage of light activities or take a nap to relax. These are tips from experienced flight attendants to always feel comfortable on every flight.
Luggage should be light
You should not bring too much luggage, especially when traveling. Light, easy-to-wear clothes that are suitable for the weather of the destination will help you feel comfortable and your body lighter.
Hats, thin raincoats, and umbrellas are also essential items for a trip or even a business trip to conveniently visit during the trip.
A pair of comfortable low-heeled shoes will protect your feet when walking a lot and most importantly, bring a universal power outlet that works in many countries, in case you need to charge your battery and have trouble finding a suitable outlet.

Stimulate swallowing to avoid earache and tinnitus
Tinnitus, even severe ear pain, is a fairly common symptom in people traveling by plane due to changes in air pressure. To avoid this condition, you should usually chew two gums or drink water during takeoff and landing to stimulate swallowing and stimulate the opening of the Eustachian tube to ensure the balance of air pressure on both sides of the eardrum.
You can also use essential oils to smell or use cotton swabs to plug your ears. Yawning is also an effective way to clear your ears and relieve earache.

Light activity to reduce leg numbness and blood clots
Sitting on a plane for more than 4 hours can easily cause blood clots in the deep veins of the legs. To reduce leg numbness and blood clots, you should actively help blood circulation by stretching your legs, stretching your shoulders or walking gently to reduce the feeling of fatigue in your body. Squeezing and rubbing your legs, massaging and rubbing your knees will make you feel more comfortable.

Low-fat foods help the body feel light and comfortable
When flying, especially long-haul international flights, you should choose foods that are easy to digest, avoiding fast food, fried foods, and alcoholic beverages. Yogurt, smoothies, or a cup of herbal tea will help your body retain the necessary amount of water, and you can choose suitable snacks to supplement your body with energy.
Avoid high-protein foods, alcohol, and caffeinated drinks on the plane, as they dehydrate you. Instead, drink water and juice regularly.

Take a nap to relax
If it is a business trip, the flight is definitely an ideal time for you to rest. Bring headphones and a neck pillow so you can sit comfortably and relax with your favorite music. Recline the seat a little to about 62 degrees and take a nap, you will feel more comfortable and mentally relaxed when returning to work.
