Why long plane rides can be exhausting

Many people may feel easily fatigued when traveling by airplane, even though they are just sitting in the seat. If you carry the feeling of fatigue with you on the plane, you will not be able to enjoy your trip comfortably. First, we will explain why you may feel tired on long airplane trips.

Same posture for a long time

The first cause is spending long hours in the same position. During air travel, the body remains seated for long periods of time, which reduces blood circulation and puts strain on the shoulder area, legs, and back.

It is important to note that prolonged periods of time in the same position can lead to swelling of the hands and feet associated with worsening blood circulation and economy class syndrome, in which blood clots form in the veins and can clog them.

Lack of hydration

The second cause is lack of hydration. Some people may not drink water during long airplane trips because they "don't want to go to the bathroom. If you do not hydrate frequently, it is difficult for waste products in the blood to flow, and you feel tired more easily.

In addition, lack of hydration may worsen blood flow, which may lead to economy class syndrome.

Noise

The third cause is noise. Generally, the volume at which people feel less stress in their daily lives is considered to be 40 to 50 dB. However, according to the "Noise Guidelines" (*) published by the Subcommittee on Noise Research of the National Council for Environmental Studies, the sound inside an airplane is considerably louder at 70 to 80 dB. This is louder than the chirping of cicadas or the interior of a subway car.
(*From the data of the Noise Research Subcommittee of the National Council of Environmental Research Institute of Japan)

Because of the long hours of exposure to this loud noise in airplanes, the body and mind tend to tire easily.

What kinds of goods make airplane travel more comfortable?

Long travel time on airplanes can be made less tiring and more comfortable by being particular about the goods you take with you. Here are some recommended goods to make your airplane travel time more comfortable.

Cushion-type goods

"Cushion-type goods" such as neck pillows and lumbar support cushions can reduce the burden on the neck and lower back, allowing for a more comfortable and easier posture.

Some airlines allow you to borrow a pillow, but you may find it thin and difficult to use. For your comfort, bring a pillow that is well cushioned and fits your body.

If you want to change the height and thickness to suit your preference or posture, we also recommend air cushions that are inflated with air. They are space-saving and can be brought in and easily changed by adjusting the amount of air to be added.

Anti-Swelling Goods

On airplanes, you will be sitting for long periods of time, so if you prepare "anti-swelling goods," you can spend a comfortable time by preventing poor blood circulation. If you want to easily prevent swelling, we recommend compression socks that you can simply put on.

When using compression socks, it is best to wear them before boarding the plane, as it is difficult to put them on on the spot in economy class where seating space is limited.

If you are traveling abroad and will be on a long flight, it will be more comfortable to have a footrest to place your feet higher.

Goods for dryness and coldness

When traveling by air, you should also prepare "dry and cold protection goods. Although the temperature inside the plane is adjusted to 22-26 degrees Celsius, it can feel cold due to the low humidity. Some airlines offer rental blankets as well as cushions, but they are a bit thin, so if you are cold, it is convenient to bring your own.

To prevent dryness, it is recommended to prepare goods such as masks and moisturizing cream. Masks in particular not only prevent dryness, but also prevent coughing and sneezing droplets from being dispersed in crowded airplanes.

Sleep and Relaxation Goods

"Sleep/relaxation goods" will make you more comfortable on long flights associated with nighttime travel and international travel. Since it is easy to be bothered by noise and lighting on airplanes, it is advisable to prepare familiar earplugs, eye masks, and other goods.

Goods for passing time

On long airplane trips, you may find that you are short on time. Therefore, you can spend your time comfortably if you have "time passing items" such as a music player and e-books. If you have small children, it is a good idea to have a variety of ways to pass the time, such as game consoles and coloring books.

Five ways to spend time on board to make fright more comfortable

When travelling by air, it is not only about the goods, but also about making a few small changes to the way you spend your time on board. Here are some tips on how to spend your time on board to make your air travel time more comfortable.

(i) Drink plenty of water

Drink plenty of water while travelling by air to prevent blood circulation problems and economy class syndrome. Tea and coffee contain diuretic caffeine, so if you don't want to go to the toilet frequently, choose drinks and water that contain as little caffeine as possible.

(ii) Choose less constrictive clothing

The choice of clothing is also important to ensure a comfortable journey time on aeroplanes. As you spend a long time in the same position on the plane, constrictive clothing can cause blood circulation to deteriorate. Therefore, choosing trousers made of stretchy material and loose-fitting tops will make it easier to stay comfortable in a comfortable posture.
Note that hoodies are treated as outerwear and must be removed at airport security checks.

(iii) Stretching frequently

To prevent economy class syndrome, stretch frequently on board. Massaging the legs and slightly relaxing the shoulder area, for example, and avoiding the same posture for as long as possible can also help prevent it.

If you prefer, you can also prepare massage products such as battery-free massage rollers or pressure point sticks.

(iv) Remove make-up beforehand

On long flights, it is advisable to remove make-up beforehand, considering that you will sleep during the journey. The low humidity and dryness of the cabin can be hard on your skin if you sleep with make-up on.

It is therefore advisable to leave your make-up off on the day you fly, or keep it light so that you can remove it quickly. You can also prepare make-up remover sheets so that you can remove your make-up after you get on the plane, which will make your stay more comfortable.

(v) Adjust to local time and take measures to combat jet lag

After long flights associated with international travel, drowsiness due to jet lag may occur. While the difference between neighbouring countries like Japan and China is about one hour, there is a time difference of about 14 hours between the USA and other distant countries.

To avoid jet lag, it is recommended to adjust the time on your wristwatch to the time in the country you are travelling to before boarding the plane. Matching the timing of your meals and sleep to local time will also reduce jet lag and make your journey more comfortable.
