  • Avoid Stiff Muscles

  • - Avoid stiff muscles by trying to keep them in motion. They can ache from being too still for too long at a time. Every 10 or 15 minutes, help your circulation and muscles by rotating your shoulders (backward and forward) and bending your neck to each side by lowering your ear to your shoulder (and repeating on the other side), as well as back and forth (chin to chest, then back). Also, get up and walk around once in a while to keep that blood flowing!

  • Avoiding Ear Problems

  • - Before the plane takes off, suck gummie bears or any type of sweet. This will lessen the effect of getting the pressure into your ear while the plane is taking off.

  • Babies and Kids Suffer from Pressure Changes Just Like Adults

  • - During descent, make sure that infant travelers have a soother (pacifier) to suck on. Although I am not an advocate of thumb sucking, this is an occasion when it would be good to look the other way when your toddler sucks his or her thumb. Kids who understand how to chew (and not swallow) gum can be encouraged to chew bubblegum as you descend to your destination.

  • Backpack Essentials

  • - For those travelling with backpacks, bring along several large orange garbage bags to protect the pack from luggage carousels and machinery; prior to checking your pack in, write in large letters across the garbage bag your itinerary and flight numbers, then slip it over the backpack and tie tightly. Your pack is now immune to the gnashing teeth of the luggage carousels, and you'll have no trouble identifying the pack on the carousel.

  • Backpack for Carry-On

  • - I use a medium to large size leather backpack for my carry-on. It allows me to have both hands free for handling luggage, tickets, boarding pass, etc. After I check my luggage I can carry it by the handle. I alway pack magazines, newpapers, and a paperback for the flight and any unexpected delays. It is also a very good idea to pack sandwiches and snacks - you never know when you might need them. After reading the magazines and newspaper and eating your snack, you have room for souvenirs or fragile purchases on the return flight.
