Wellbeing in the air
Thomas Cook aims to make your flight
comfortable and relaxing. Simply follow
these tips and exercises to ensure you
arrive at your destination feeling great
Special requirements
Hopefully, we already know about your
special requirements, such as wheelchair
assistance or dietary requests. If not, and
this is an outbound fl ight, please advise a
member of the cabin crew so that they can
make appropriate arrangements for your
return journey.
Sleep and seatbelts
If you’re planning to sleep during the fl ight,
we recommend you fasten your seatbelt
so the cabin crew don’t have to wake you
should the Captain need to turn on the
“fasten seatbelt” sign. We recommend that
you keep your seatbelt fastened at all times
while seated.

No Smoking
In line with international policy, all our
fl ights are non-smoking. It is an offence
to smoke onboard. We ask that you refrain
from smoking for the comfort and safety
of passengers and crew.
Young children
The cabin crew will do their utmost to
make everyone feel as comfortable and
welcome as possible during the fl ight.
If you are travelling with young children,
just ask if you need any milk or infant
meals to be heated. Baby-changing
facilities are available on all our aircraft –
again, just ask your crew for the location
nearest to your seat.
HOW TO BEAT JET LAG:
Jet lag occurs when our biological
clocks are disrupted by flying across
time zones. This can affect sleep,
appetite and bodily functions, but by
making a few simple adjustments you
can reduce the symptoms.
INFLIGHT
During the flight, avoid drinking too much
alcohol and caffeine, drink plenty of
water and try to eat light meals.
ON ARRIVAL
When you arrive, go out in the daylight
as soon as possible. Try to adapt to the
local bedtime on your first night. Relax as
much as possible for the first few days –
a catnap between 3pm and 5pm will help
give you an energy boost.
