| Before
Boarding Your Plane |
[
A ] Avoid being delayed at the
airport, call the airline before leaving to be sure the flight
is scheduled to leave on time. Check-in counters close 45 mins prior
to flight departures. To complete certain government formalities
at the airport, prior to departure, passengers should arrive sufficiently
in advance . Check-in times for individual flights should be enquired
in advance from the airline's booking and airport offices. The time(s)
shown on the flight coupon(s) is the departure time of the aircraft.
Flights cannot be delayed for passengers arriving late for check-in
and no responsibility can be accepted in such cases by airlines.
The following documents are required to be produced at the
time of check-in:
. Your airline ticket.
. Your passport containing a valid visa.
. Any other documents that may be required as per local
regulations.
[ B ] Expectant Mothers: In the case of normal pregnancies,
expectant mothers upto the 32nd week of pregnancy are allowed to
fly in the normal manner.
. For pregnancies between the 32nd week and 35th week, the
expectant mother is required to produce a certificate from her attending
physician to state that it is a normal pregnancy and the mother
is fit to travel by air.
. The passenger must also submit an Indemnity from the husband
/ father to indemnify the airline. |
| Inside
Your Plane |
[
A ] If you'd like a better seat
on your flight be sure to ask at check-in. Bulk-head and exit-row
seats are usually last to be assigned and may be available.
[ B ] Being prepared could save your life! When boarding
your fight, always note the emergency exits in relation to
your seat.
[ C ] Need to alleviate ear pressure when flying? Place a
hot cloth in cup and hold it over your ear. Try it, it works!
[ D ] Using your laptop in-flight? Since different airlines
need different adapters, you'll need to bring a PowerXtender, a
PowerCharger, and an Auto/Air Adapter to be "plugged in". |
[
E ] Immobility associated with
long journeys can be uncomfortable. There are many measures travelers
can and should take-from drinking adequate fluids to performing
in-seat exercises - to make trips more pleasant. Those measures
also may reduce the risk of developing a serious condition known
as Deep Vein Thrombosis ( DVT ). A rare condition, DVT has
been associated with prolonged immobility, which can be the result
of activities such as watching a movie, working in a job that requires
you to remain seated for prolonged intervals, and many forms of
extended travel. This condition can result in blood clots forming
in the legs and then moving to vital organs of the body. While DVT
may affect individuals with abnormal blood flow, blood vessels,
or blood composition more frequently, all travelers should be aware
of the importance of moving their lower limbs. As two of the major
causes are immobility and dehydration, you can do quite a lot to
reduce these, and hence minimize your risk of getting DVT. If you're
planning a long flight and are being treated for a medical condition,
please see your doctor. Some do's while taking a long flight :
. Avoid crossing your legs for long periods.
. Avoid wearing tight clothing around the upper thighs and
body.
. Drink a lot of water and juices during the flight. Drink
coffee, tea and alcohol only in moderation as these are diuretics
and may cause the body to dehydrate.
. Periodically perform a few exercises.
. Get up and walk at least once every two hours. |
