Top tips for holidays:

• Plan ahead – Consider the need for immunisations, self treatment first aid kits, insurance, bearing in mind your destination, age, and any underlying medical problems. If necessary consult your GP, or there is a travel clinic at The Suffolk Nuffield Hospital 01473 279100. Consider the need for back or neck supports – we can advise you.



• Seat Pitch – Minimum seat pitch (distance between seats) is currently 26in. Many airlines are responding to the pressure for more legroom. For the seat pitch league table visit www.travelleronline.com



• Pre flight – Stroll around the terminal, avoid heavy meals, moderate alcohol, tea and coffee 24hrs before flying. Wear loose comfortable clothing and supportive long socks. Use moisturiser to keep skin fresh.



• During the flight – Light food, moderate alcohol, drink water (little and often) stretch arms and legs regularly and find reasons lo leave your seat from time to time. We can supply ‘lymgym’ lower limb exerciser
  (£8 - from reception) proven to improve lower limb circulation.



• When you land – Take a gentle stroll whilst waiting for your luggage. Use stairs rather than escalators. Whilst queueing rise up and down on the balls of your feet to exercise calf muscles. Relax with your feet up.
