Whether you’re jetting off for a bit of spring break recreation or heading somewhere for work, we have a few air travel tips to make sure your next flight is the most comfortable travel ride yet. Up, up, and away! Rachel Grice, a registered yoga teacher and a contributing editor at LiveStrong says, “The healthiest way to sit on a plane is actually to avoid sitting—or at least sitting still—for as much of the flight as you can. When you are sitting, though, you want to have good posture just like you would sitting anywhere else.” “Just like sitting at a desk, you want to take breaks to get up and move and stretch,” she says. “Walk up and down the aisle or stretch in the aisle. You don’t have to have a full-on yoga session, but a quad stretch, arms stretch, and some side bends are good options.” Still feeling a little tense? Grice has one last, fail-proof plan for relaxing while in the air: “Another thing you can do while in your seat focuses on flexing and relaxing individual muscle groups—calves, quads, glutes, biceps, lats, etc. Hold each for three to five seconds, and then release. Repeat a few times, working from your feet to your head.” Here’s to your most comfortable flight yet.
