Few People like air travel for long periods, but you can do a few things to make your flight more comfortable. Follow a few simple steps to reduce the physical discomforts of flying.

Travel sick? Take-off, turbulence and landing promote queasiness. Choose seats over the wings(most stable) and focus on a still object until the feeling passes.

Exhausted? To minimize fatigue, switch to your destination's time zone once on board, and try to sleep or rest according to that.

Uncomfortable? Move around the cabin regularly and do stretching exercises in your seat. The risk of deep vein thrombosis(DVT), although small, is higher for those with pre-existing conditions, so seek medical advice before traveling.

Hungry? Inactivity makes it harder to digest food, so try to avoid excessive snacking during the flight. Drink plenty of water too. Alcohol will dehydrate you.
