Take Stretching Seriously
Staying in one position for hours isn’t just uncomfortable—it’s bad for circulation and joint health. Take short walks up and down the aisle every 1–2 hours. In your seat, do ankle rolls, leg lifts, neck tilts, and shoulder circles. These micro-movements boost blood flow and reduce swelling. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious risk on long flights, especially for older travelers or those with circulation issues. Even light stretches help counteract it. A bit of movement can make a huge difference to how your body feels on landing.
