Useful Onboard Tips
Pay close attention to the safety briefings at the beginning of the flight and know the location of all exits. Safety is everyone's responsibility.
Be aware of which electronic devices are and are not allowed to be used during the flight. If you are unsure of the rules, consult a crew member.
Follow the instructions of the crew at all times and be respectful of them and the other passengers.
It is illegal to behave in a manner threatening to other passengers on board the flight. Remember, everyone is entitled to travel in a safe and secure environment.
Inform the crew of any disruptive behaviour, follow their instructions and be courteous.
Drinking juice or water during your flight - instead of coffee or alcohol - will help keep you hydrated.
Try doing seated leg exercises throughout the flight to help prevent stiffness.
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
When on a long flight (and if possible on any flight), try to move your ankles, toes and legs regularly. Exercising and stretching increases blood circulation and minimizes the risk of DVT. Exercises should be done every hour for a few minutes.
Carry-on baggage should be kept to a minimum in order to leave the area under your seat empty to enable stretching. However, for shorter passengers whose feet do not reach the floor, it is recommended those feet are elevated, using luggage if necessary, in order to prevent the seat edge from compressing the back of the thighs.
Avoid taking sedatives before and during a flight in order to refrain from sleeping too soundly and to be able to move freely.
For more information on deep vein thrombosis, contact the cabin crew.
