LIAT TRAVEL GUIDE & INFORMATION
10 TRAVELLING WITH INFANTS?
Feed your baby during take-off and
landing to reduce discomfort caused
by changes in cabin pressure. Ask flight
attendants for any help you require.
11 INSIDER KNOWLEDGE
Abdominal pain during flight is often
caused by the expansion of gas in the
stomach or intestines. To lessen the
chances of stomach pain, don’t consume
too many gas-inducing foods before
flying, such as peas, beans and cauliflower,
and avoid too many carbonated drinks.
Chewing gum can also cause discomfort
EASY
EXERCISES
Keep your circulation going
with these in-seat exercises:
as it makes you swallow air. Whatever you
consume, try to eat and drink slowly.
12 BOOST YOUR IMMUNE
SYSTEM
A study in the Journal of Environmental
Health Research says you may be 100
times more likely to catch a cold on a
plane than in normal life. To reduce the
risk of picking something up, wash your
hands often, don’t smoke (as this irritates
the airways, increasing the chance of
infection) and pack a lemon in your bag
which you can then squeeze into water
for a vitamin C boost on board.
