Doctors prescriptions

Despite all the efforts of the flight crew to create a pleasant ambience onboard, passengers may feel worse due to flying itself.

In order to feel calm and comfortable onboard, Transaero recommends to follow some simple rules.

•    When the altitude of the aircraft rises, changes in air pressure may lead to noise in your ears or your ears may feel blocked. You can feel better by having some drops.

•    Sometimes low air humidity in the cabin may lead to your throat, nose and eyes feeling dry. We recommend to have more water and juices and refrain from such dehydrating drinks as tea, coffee and liquors.

•    Before boarding you may use a nose spray or artificial tears drop. It would be better to replace contact lenses with the glasses during the flight.

•    Acceleration factor may lead to your feeling dizzy, bloated, or having nausea. Before the flight do not eat yourself full, refrain from food generating gases (peas, cabbage, and rye bread).

•    If you feel dizzy, focus your eyes on an immoveable object.

•    Long-distance and frequent flights may lead to blood congestion effects in the blood vessels of your legs. When sitting, refrain from crossing your legs, change your position regularly, and make some simple relaxing exercises from time to time. We recommend to take off the shoes or loosen shoe laces.

•    It is preferable to wear comfortable and loose clothes and shoes. Do not wear your belt and your tie knot too tight.

•    We recommend pregnant women to refrain from flying before 14 weeks and after 35 weeks of pregnancy.
