|
|
| Changes in cabin pressure :
|
Even in pressurized aircraft, minor changes in cabin pressure do
occur during take-off and landing, resulting at times in discomfort due to
blocked ears. This occurs particularly in passengers who fly despite having
colds, upper respiratory tract infections & this can be avoided by
equalizing the pressure in your middle ear by following these easy steps:
|
|
|
Suck on a boiled sweet. Your cabin crew would be delighted to
provide you with boiled sweets. |
|
|
Yawn, swallow saliva, perform side-to-side movements of the jaw. Avoid sleeping
during take-off & landing. |
|
|
Children should be given fluids to drink / sweets to suck on & Infants /
toddlers could benefit from sucking on pacifiers / milk bottles. |
|
|
Pinch your nose and blow - especially during descent. |
|
|
Finally if you have a cold or ear infection, see your physician before flying.
Use of Nasal Drops (as prescribed by your physician) is recommended before
take-off & landing in these cases. |
|
| Food and drink :
|
In-flight cuisine is yours to savor and enjoy.
Sometimes changes in cabin pressure can cause mild bloating and discomfort.
These simple steps will ensure that you enjoy your meal and flight :
|
|
|
Avoid heavy meals (may cause indigestion due to expansion of gases
in the intestines) and over-indulgence in alcohol. |
|
|
Drink plenty of fluids. Water & fresh juices are recommended. Avoid
excessive intake of tea, coffee, aerated waters as these aggravate dehydration. |
