Electronic
equipment
Technology moves at such a
fast pace that you may be
confused about what electronic
equipment you can and can’t
use onboard. To help you, we
have the following guidelines.
The use of radios is strictly prohibited.
Mobile telephones, with the exception of
those with a “flight safe” mode, should be
switched off at all times on board the
aircraft. Phones with a “flight safe” mode
should have this activated before you switch
your phone off for take off.
Personal CD, DVD, MP3 and MiniDisc
players may be used, but only when the
seatbelt sign is switched off.
Wireless devices such as PDAs, laptop
computers, electronic games and E-readers
may only be used onboard if the wireless
function is disabled and again, may only be
used while the seatbelt sign is off.
Simple as ABC
To feel your best in the air,
remember:
alcohol
Alcohol should be consumed only in
moderation. For each glass of alcohol, drink
two glasses of water. Try to drink at least a pint
of water every three hours.
baggy clothes
Baggy clothes are best in the air. Try not
to wear any tight-fitting clothing, loosen
top buttons, belts and shoelaces and remove
tight socks. We do, however, ask that your dress
remains respectable throughout the flight.
Circulation
Circulation of blood is helped if you try not to
cross your legs or ankles for long periods of
time. Elastic support socks or stockings may
help, but they must be measured by your
doctor or pharmacist. Our recommended
exercises will also help blood circulation, but
if you feel any discomfort when performing
them, then please stop.

Inflight exercise
Humans aren’t designed to sit in one position for long, so to promote
blood circulation we recommend the following exercises. Try them
while seated and remember that even the smallest movements help
with blood circulation.
upper body
1 Take a large breath in through the
nose. Slowly exhale through the mouth.
Repeat a maximum of four times.
2 Sitting upright, turn your head slowly
to look over one shoulder. Now slowly
turn to the other side. Repeat five times.
lower body
1 Loosen or remove your footwear. Arch
the soles of both feet and curl your toes
10 times.
2 Straighten your legs, slightly lift your
feet off the floor and pump both ankles
forwards and backwards about 20 times.
3 Tense and relax your thigh muscles
about 10 times.
4 March your feet on the spot 10 times,
alternating between the heel and the
ball of your foot.
3 Slowly rotate your shoulders backwards.
Repeat this exercise five times.
4 Raise one arm above your head and
stretch upwards. Repeat with the other arm.
5 Transfer your weight evenly between
each buttock.
5 Clench your buttock muscles together
10 times.
6 If queuing for the toilet, try rocking
backwards and forwards, heel to toe
and back.
7 Upon landing, gently stretch your body
to get ready for movement.
8 If you are travelling on a long-haul
flight, try to move around the cabin
every couple of hours.
