Every (business) traveller who has taken a long flight before knows how tiring such a journey can be. You can arrive at your destination feeling tired. Annoying, especially when you have a tight schedule planned during your business trip.<\/p>\n

To make such a long flight easier so that you arrive at your destination feeling fit and rested, we have gathered five tips. Ideal, as this means you can head straight to your (business) meeting, conference, or event.<\/p>\n

With the tips below, you're sure to arrive less tired after a (long) flight!<\/p>\n

Tip 1: Dress comfortably<\/strong><\/h4>\n

As a (business) traveller, it's not always possible to travel in jogging bottoms, but comfortable clothing can absolutely contribute to your comfort during your journey. For example, ladies are better off leaving the high heels at home during a (long) flight, and gentlemen would do better to wear a cardigan or jumper than a blazer.<\/p>\n

Do make sure to pack the smart clothing in your hand luggage. Also, consider the temperature differences between the terminal, the aircraft, and your destination. A warm jumper and layers are recommended.<\/p>\n

Tip 2: Drink plenty of water and be sparing with caffeine and alcohol<\/strong><\/h4>\n

During a long flight, you fly at an altitude of over 10,000 metres. To compensate for the difference in air pressure, the air pressure in the aircraft is artificially maintained. As a result, the air in the cabin contains less moisture than we are used to, which can lead to dehydration.<\/p>\n

Drinking plenty of water and being sparing with coffee, tea, and alcohol is the solution. Coffee, tea, and alcohol make your body dehydrate even faster. So, the best thing is to avoid them altogether, but if you do consume them, do so in moderation. Regularly asking the cabin crew for a glass of water or buying a bottle of water after you've passed through customs are methods to combat dehydration on a plane.<\/p>\n

Tip 3: Eat light meals<\/strong><\/h4>\n

It is advisable to avoid eating heavy meals both before and during your flight. Your body digests nutrients less easily on an aeroplane, which can also make it more difficult for you to fall asleep. Not everyone can do it, but sleeping during the flight is the best way to arrive at your destination feeling rested. By eating light meals, you ensure your body doesn't hinder your ability to sleep on the plane. A good neck pillow, a warm blanket, and possibly earplugs and a sleep mask will make sleeping on an aeroplane even easier.<\/p>\n

Tip 4: Stretch your legs for as long as possible<\/strong><\/h4>\n

After checking in and dropping off your luggage, you'll often have some time left before boarding begins. Don't just sit around waiting, but take a walk until you can get on the plane. You'll be sitting for long enough soon enough.<\/p>\n

Therefore, stretch your legs for as long as possible. This also applies during the flight. It is extremely beneficial for the body to regularly stretch your legs and walk around the cabin when possible.<\/p>\n

Tip 5: Do simple exercises during the flight<\/strong><\/h4>\n

By doing exercises on board, you will arrive at your destination fitter and more rested. The exercises are simple and can be done right in your seat.<\/p>\n
