General travel tips
Before Your Trip:
Here are just a few precautions you can take ahead of time: • Make sure your immunizations are current. • If possible, delay your trip if you're not feeling well. • If you're prone to air sickness, ask for a window seat over the wing. • If you have any health questions, or if you suffer from a chronic ailment, motion sickness, or fear of flying, ask for advice from your physician. • Stress is bad for you. Reduce stress by allowing plenty of time to check in and reach your departure gate. • Always carry your medication with you—never pack it in baggage you're planning to check. • Wear loose, comfortable clothing and shoes for your flight. During Your Trip Here are a few things you can do to feel good while you're flying: • Eat lightly during your flight. • Stay hydrated while you fly. • Leave room under the seat in front of you so you can stretch out your legs. • If conditions permit, try to stand up and walk around the cabin every once in a while. At Your Destination Here are a couple of things to remember once you arrive: • Never purchase local medications unless you're familiar with them. • Wear sun block and sunglasses in the tropics and at high altitudes. • Drink a lot of water to minimize altitude sickness.
