One major concerned
of most air travelers is whether the impact of
jet lag can be minimized and also to reduce
stress and try to achieve relaxation. It is every
travelers wish to travel without stress. Who
does not want a stress free vacation? Use this
stress guide to allow you to fly without stress. There are a lot of
things that air travelers can do to softened the
effects of long distance travel. Among some the
things you should know to assist in coping with
the discomforts caused by crossing the different
time zones are firstly, you must stay fit and be
fully rested before boarding a plane. It
advisable to wear loose clothing and comfortable
shoes. Once inside the plane, loosen the belt,
take off the shoes and try to wriggle your toes
and relax at the same time.
It is recommended
that you eat lightly before, during and after
the journey. High fibre food such as fruit and
vegetables and carbohydrates like bread, rice
and pasta are easier to digest. This will
certainly help you to relax and will allow your
digestive system to operate properly. If
possible, try not to drink alcohol and caffeine
the day before you fly and also during the time
you are in the plane. You are encouraged to
drink as much water and fruit juice as possible
while the plane is flying.
Another way to overcome
uneasiness while flying is to apply a good
moisturizer before you leave and during the
flight to keep your skin from drying out and it
is better to wear glasses instead of contact
lenses. On arrival, you are advised to go for a
brisk walk or gentle jog. Try to get as much
sunlight as possible as you can. Natural light
will help your body clock reset itself more
quickly.
When doing packing,
try not to put cash, jewelry, passports, keys,
tour vouchers, business papers, medicines or
objects that are fragile, perishable or
irreplaceable into your checked baggage. It is
better to carry these with you, either on your
person or in a small bag that you can take on
board. Do not over pack. This will put
unnecessary pressure on hinges and locks.
Remember to always lock your bags. This makes it
harder for them to to spring open accidentally
and it can also prevent other people from
putting dangerous items such as drugs into your
bags without your knowledge. Remember to put a
tag inside your luggage with your name, home
address, home and work telephone numbers
together with an address and telephone number
where you can be reached in your destination
city.
Never check in at
the very last minute. You might make the flight
but your luggage may not. Always remember to get
a claim check for every bag checked and make
sure that the check-in clerks attaches a
destination tag to each of your luggage. Since
many bags look similar, claim yours by check
number or name tag. If a bag arrives open,
unlocked or visibly damaged, check immediately
to see if anything is missing or if any
unrecognizable items has been added. Report any
baggage problems immediately to the customs. It
is every traveler's wish to have a stress free
travel.
