In-Flight
Health Tips

Move Frequently

Stretch, walk the aisle when possible, and do gentle foot and leg exercises to promote circulation, especially on long flights.

Pack Snacks

If you have dietary needs or prefer specific foods, bring snacks to stay comfortable, especially on long flights or if you need to avoid certain airline meals.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the flight to counteract the dehydrating effects of cabin air.

If you need to stay connected, consider obtaining a small amount of local currency, a travel-friendly credit card, and a temporary SIM card.
