Travelling by air is usually very boring, tiring, and unhealthy. Recovery from that usually takes days. During trip, the productivity of most of us is naturally poor. The following hints are very useful and helpful in eliminating the fore said harms. Start applying and enjoy:

1. Put your outdoor clothes into the suitcase if you have one. If not, the down light coat fits into fist size space.

2. Book your seat with larger foot space. You may need to be early and pay a little extra, but it´s worth it. Then you can stretch your legs better, go walking easily and keep the lap top open with good space all the time. Never take a window seat, where coming our is uncomfortable and thus sitting sessions will be longer.

3. Be every time aware what kind of food / diet alternatives there are available in the plain and order the best one or rather buy high quality food from the airport to take in with you.

4. When boarding is announced finished (or even before that), look around. There might be some places with 3 free seats free side by side. Move fast and sit on the middle of them spread some of your belongings on both sides to make them look taken. Later during the flight, you can sleep lying down on all 3 of them.

5. When you lie down, the belt fixing locks usually press you. They come easily off after opening simple lock on them where the belt is fixed. Put the released belts on the floor or in the seat pocket or in the overhead locker.

6. Always carry Salli Driver (a seat improver made by Salli Systems/salli.com) with you on the carry-on case. Put it on your seat, adjust it perfect to you and sit with much better circulation, less swelling, happy pelvic floor, genital health and back and much more energy. You can use the Driver parts folded together as a pillow. Use Salli driver seat part or even both parts on top of each other on the on your table when you type your laptop. Then the screen is on your eye level and your neck and head has much better ergonomics.

Other ways to use the Salli Driver can be seen in Salli.com.

7. Pack blankets or pillows on the arm rests to make them softer than the standard hard and uncomfortable. Rather make yourself nice arm rest paddings, which can be slipped on like socks.

8. Always take along good quality headphones / sound blockers into your carry-on-case and listen to music or films in Hi-Fi or rest without surrounding noise.

9. Do not wait for others take contact you in the plain where people are passive and tired. If you are brave and active to use your psychological eye to choose some interesting co-passenger and approach him / her, you may get much more interesting flight, maybe get a business contact, hobby partner or partner for social activities and even learn something.

10. Take along numerous antioxidants. Flying is bad for the health and ages you fast. With antioxidants you may walk out in full of energy. The best C-vitamin doze is 2 g every 4 hours in travelling in general.

11. With high nutrition fibre before and during the flights, you can keep your intestine active and have a good size poop in the plain, which is a key thing to walk out on good energy level after the flight. Take also along enough good food with fibre, plums etc. intestine speeders because immobility and poor flight food makes your system slow down (or stop completely) which is bad for health, immunity and energy.

12. Take super good foods (berry powders, fish, fruit, fresh berries, seeds, herb powders, healthy spice mixture with ginger, smoked fish and your favourite spice mix) and drinks with you in. The envy and interest of the neighbours is a good activator for more social contacts. Keep a well tasting, super brain spice mixture (turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, black pepper a little, oregano, rosemary all in a tiny bottle) with you in the plains and hotels for your health and benefit.

13. Drink much more than what you are served because the body tends to dry up much more in dry and draftee air. There are drinks available in the back for anyone to fetch on long flights. Good amount is one cup/hour. By fetching yourself, you get nice exercise for circulation.

14. Always wear very slack and comfortable clothes (rather without any underwear) for relaxed feeling and good circulation. Have open sandals in the plain without socks too for better circulation. Warm loose wool socks are also good. Make up and tights are really not smart choices on flights. Warm smile with a fresh breathe is enough for social connections. If you have important meeting right after the flight, change and make up in the toilet just before pre landing toilet rush que.

15. Keep a sport watch etc. thermometer with you, watch the temperature, report the temperature to the staff with the accuracy of 1/10 of a degree and demand that the temperature is kept on its physiological optimum

24-25 in the daytime and 25 – 27 in the night. Too cold temperature makes the body produce heat which in turn makes one more tired.

16. Reserve along a good book because during take-off and landing there are long intervals when you are not allowed to use the laptop or the entertainment system of the plain.

17. Be very social with neighbours in the cabin if possible. They too are bored and are just happy if someone is brave enough to do the initiative. Plain is an excellent place to make friends with someone interesting.

18. Ignore the suggestions of the staff just to sit still with you belt buckled. Instead walk around often for circulation, refreshment and social reasons.

19. If you travel alone flirt charmingly with interesting people. There is nothing more refreshing than flirt during flights.

20. There are also very often potential customers sitting somewhere nearby. You can rehearse your networking, social and sales skills.

21. If you find a nice partner, aeroplane toilets are just big enough places for warm “kiss and hug” session to cheer up a boring flight.

22. If the plane is full, go in among the first to get your carry-on case just above your head.

23. If the plain is not quite full and you have a bad place, go in last. Then choose the best place among remaining places. No one shall check if you sit on your “own” seat.

24. On long intercontinental flights, keep with you a rubber band trainer (good on trips in general), fix it on a handle next to emergency exit door handle and activate yourself every 2 hours and before landing with good exercise. While doing it, you attract a lot of admiration and are an important role model for more inhibited ones. In big planes there is also place near the emergency exit for you to do your sit ups and push ups and thus help your circulation and hormone production.

25. When you enter the plain, welcome the cabin crew and let them know honestly what your mood is right then. Then they remember you and try to serve you with the best of their capacity.

26. Develop your things and toilet ware by minimizing the sizes so that you manage with one carry – on luggage. This saves a lot of time not needing to collect/wait for the luggage, or hassle because of loss of it. Also keep a packing list and keep the routine things ready in the bag and thus avoid the packing stress or forgetting something. Do not forget a small memory foam pillow, which becomes often needed.

27. Bring 2-5 mg melatonin pill and 400 mg tryptophan pills with you to the night flights, take it 0.5 h before the intended sleeping time. It helps you to fall asleep easier.

28. Good pass times in the plain are manicure, pedicure, electric acupuncture, self-massage (feet) and stretching on the corridor. Also use dental floss or stick, xylitol chewing gums and brush your teeth after every meal with your electric brush and a cup of water what is given by the staff.

29. You make a great favour to your fellow passengers if you ask persons, who have “bad breath” to wash their teeth as well. For such unlucky person, you can have a spear electric toothbrush head.

30. If you want to write some more demanding work- etc. text, do it in the beginning of the flight because sleepiness and boredom often slow down your brain later.

31. Remember to discuss patiently with the crew about all their mistakes and shortcomings what you notice in the service (food, ergonomics, temperature, entertainment programs etc.) and besides that leave written feedback too. That is a good way to help the company to improve their service.

32. In intercontinental long flights, if there are interesting personalities among the crew, one chance for social chat is after their cabin service times when they are just sitting around in the back of the plain. They gladly choose to listen some professional lectures (which are close to their life situation) during such brakes. The massage and reflexology analyses in their feet and legs done by you (if you how to) are often welcome too.

In any case, being individual, original and truly you on flights is much more relaxing and cheerful for you and your fellow passengers than being dull, traditional, isolated and boring. Eccentric passengers are also remembered by the crew members. Most of them are happy if there are frequently such inspiring and different passengers travelling.
