Before the Flight

To make sure that you feel well during the flight and experience no health problems, we have prepared several tips for you to consider before your flight.

Flying and Health

Although flying is a safe way to travel, it can cause medical difficulties to some passengers. If you have any doubts, consult your travel plans with your physician.

Particularly if:

• You are undergoing medical treatment

Fear of Flying

Many people are afraid of flying. To help you overcome your fear, we recommend:

• Consult your physician – he/she can prescribe medication to help you calm down

• Attend our one-day course that helps to remedy the fear of flying.

Preventing Jet Lag

Flying across several time zones causes disorders in your body’s synchronisation (what is known as jet lag). They manifest themselves through greater fatigue, sleeplessness, problems with concentration, nausea, and low performance. In order to minimise their impact, we recommend that you get accustomed to being in a different time zone gradually:

• When flying east: go to bed earlier, several days before your flight
• When flying west: try to go to sleep as late as possible
• When you arrive, try to adapt to the local time – set your watch and try to go to bed according to the local time right away
• Try to sleep as much as possible the first night after your arrival
• Try to avoid stress and great activity during the first two days after your arrival
• Try to avoid using sleeping pills – they would disrupt your biorhythm even more
