10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 [Next] - If you have any kind of problem on a flight, report it to flight attendants, counter staff, and other front line personnel. However, do not stop there. Usually the results will be minimal or non-existent. Instead, contact the airline's toll-free number or e-mail, and follow up by mailing copies of documentation to their postal address. Be specific with dates and times, and offer a realistic problem solution that will settle everything to your satisfaction. Will Jenson ID2058 - Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a killer. It can strike anyone from the elderly to the super-fit athelete. The most likely cause of DVT is inactivity, which is why long haul flights are considered potentially dangerous for this disease. Passengers are particularly at risk if they are in the following groups:
Exercise has been advocated as a preventative method - however an airplane is hardly a suitable gym, with narrow aisles and other passengers and crew you might disturb. I recently flew for 12 hours overnight in the window seat and there was no way I would have been able to get out of my seat every hour as is currently recommended. But there is a solution, an easy and affordable solution - The Airogym DVT Exerciser - designed to simulate the walking motion of the legs. It was designed with cramped airline seating in mind. It is a compact, inflatable exerciser, easy to use and carry with you on all flights. The added bonus is that is also prevents foot / ankle swelling. I have never before been able to get my shoes back on after a long flight - after this flight - no problems at all! AiroGym.com AiroGym.com ID1439 - Lost air tickets cannot be replaced on the spot. You might have to pay for a second ticket, and go through channels to get your money refunded on the lost ticket. However, do not wait to report it lost. Contact the airline immediately and arrange for the appropriate paperwork. You may have to wait as long as six months for a refund. Refunds may have a handling fee deducted from the total. Bonnie J. ID2061 - It is better to bring your own small blanket on board than trust the cleanliness of the airlines' blankets. Shorter flights seem to have eliminated blankets. I found a good quality, small blanket at www.celiarachel.com. It's great for my kids, too. Sara ID2071 - If interested in getting an upgrade (first class) you must be wearing clothes that are presentable. This means dress slacks for men and a button down shirt, no jeans or shorts allowed. Females should dress in smart casual or business attire. This is for international travel - I'm sure a domestic flight would not be so strict.
