Air India Cabin Crew shares 6 tips for a smooth long-haul flight

Here are the 6 practical tips shared by Air India’s cabin crew for making long-haul flights more comfortable and enjoyable:

1. Hydration is Everything
- Aircraft cabins are dry, which can cause dehydration.
- Drink at least 1.5 liters of water during the flight.
- Avoid excess caffeine or aerated drinks; if you indulge, balance with extra water.

2. Beat Jet Lag Like a Pro
- Adjust your body clock to your destination’s time zone before traveling.
- Align meals and sleep schedules accordingly to minimize jet lag.

3. Sleep Well
- Choose seats away from busy areas like galleys and lavatories.
- Use a neck pillow, noise-cancelling earphones, earplugs, and an eye mask.
- Play calming music to ease into restful sleep.

4. Stay Comfortable & Active
- Stretch your back, neck, shoulders, and limbs regularly.
- Take short walks down the aisle when the seatbelt sign is off.
- Wear loose-fitting clothes and comfortable shoes to promote healthy blood flow.

5. Skincare is Essential
- Avoid heavy makeup; let your skin breathe.
- Apply light moisturizer and sunscreen (UV rays are stronger at high altitudes).
- Air India provides amenity kits with skincare essentials in premium cabins.

6. Unwind & Relax
- Sip warm beverages and listen to relaxing or meditative music.
- Explore Air India’s in-flight entertainment library with movies, music, and children’s content.

💡 These tips are designed to help passengers arrive at their destination feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, even after 9–10 hours in the air.
