A long flight can be tough on the body physically, leaving travelers fatigued. There are a few ways to relax in flight and get some sleep, ensuring you land ready to start your trip on the best foot possible. Lufthansa offers some tips and tricks for passengers to find Zen on-board.
A Relaxation Exercise Lay your hands loosely on your belly and breathe in slowly and deeply. This breathing technique renews energy.
Relax Your Eyes Rub your hands together to warm your palms and place them over closed eyes. Take a deep breath and think happy thoughts for three minutes.
Treat Your Face With fingertips, put light pressure on your forehead and tap skin softly. Slowly, work around your face.
Relax Your Feet Take off your shoes in flight. Lift up a foot, place it on your seat and move each toe individually. Place both thumbs on the back of your foot and draw your hands outward and upward. Many airlines offer tips for in-flight wellbeing. Be sure to check your carrier’s website before a long trip for other techniques to make you feel brand new on your next journey.
