Here, pros from doctors and flight attendants to beauty experts, nutritionists, and more share their best long-haul-flight-survival advice.
1. Moisturize your body before you get dressed. “It can make a huge difference in whether or not you feel comfortable in your own skin,” says Abbie Unger, former flight attendant and author of Looking Skyward: Turn Your Flight Attendant Dreams Into Reality. “Use an unscented lotion because strong smells could make you, or your very close seat mate feel airsick.”
2. Stay away from carbs before and during the flight. “Carbohydrates [make you] hold water,” says Annie Lawless, certified holistic health coach and co-founder of Suja Juice. “Most of us feel puffy and bloated from travel, and having a carb-heavy meal does nothing but exacerbate that effect.” Instead, plan ahead and pack snacks like nuts, turkey slices, and low-fat cheese for the airport and flight. Or if all else fails, choose the chicken or fish airplane meal instead of the pasta.
