A healthy flight

Take the stress out of long-distance flights. Here are some valuable tips for inflight well-being:

Remember to drink plenty of fluids, as the low humidity on board will dehydrate your skin and body. The best drinks are mineral water or sugar-free fruit juices.
Avoid alcohol; alcohol dilates the blood vessels, which in turn may lead to swollen legs.
Make sure that you stand up every now and again and walk up and down in the cabin. This will keep your circulation active.
Wear loose, comfortable clothes.
To avoid conjunctivitis, please wear spectacles and not contact lenses.

First aid is available in the DRK (German Red Cross) centre at the airport.
