DRINK WATERDrink lots of water throughout the fl ight and continue keeping your body hydrated even upon reaching your destination. Airplane cabins are extremely dry and dehydration can occur easily. Drink at regular intervals but do not attempt to drink too much water at one sitting, as the sudden increase of fl uids will act as a diuretic and the body will try to expel the water with frequent trips to the toilet. Also, keep the consumption of coffee, tea and alcohol to a minimum.

JOY OF FLYINGWhether on a short or long-haul journey, fl ying can be a pleasant experience if you are well-prepared. Here are some steps to ensure you have a safe, smooth and comfortable fl ight.

Nick Harris, Human Performance Specialist and HPE (Human Performance Engineering) founder has worked with a broad range of clients from Formula 1 World Champions, London 2012 Olympic medalists and Grand Slam-winning tennis players to rock legends AC/DC during their world tour. Here, Harris shares tips on how to stay fi t and healthy whilst travelling:

BEAT THE LAGTo counter the effects of jetlag, get as much sleep as possible when fl ying west to east. When fl ying in the reverse direction, try and stay awake as much as you can.

The AirAsia Comfort Kit comes complete with eye shade, neck pillow and blanket to help you sleep. If you need to stay awake, the neck pillow allows you to get comfy while reading a book or listening to music. The AirAsia Comfort Kit can be purchased onboard or pre-booked online at www.airasia.com

STAY BALANCED Guests who suffer from motion sickness can get relief without resorting to drugs and medication with the AirAsia Anti-Motion Sickness Wristbands. The wristband employs a technique that draws on an ancient Chinese acupuncture practice, which addresses the Neiguan point located on the wrist. This point is said to control nausea and vomiting. By wearing the band, balance is restored in the body, hence providing relief. The AirAsia Anti-Motion Sickness Wristband is safe, non-toxic and washable, and comes in a pair of two, with adjustable Velcro straps. Available on selected AirAsia fl ights.

* The motion sickness wristband is not a cure and will provide relief from motion sickness only when worn properly. Guests are advised to read instructions carefully.

COMPRESSION CLOTHINGWearing compression clothing alleviates fatigue and muscle soreness because the fabric increases oxygenation, resulting in improved and regulated blood fl ow to the muscles. It also decreases muscle oscillation that helps reduce the severity of fatigue and normalises pressure.

Made from climate control FRESHFIT® fabric, HPE compression wear helps to keep you cool and dry, as the specially constructed yarn reacts as skin temperature rises, drawing heat away from the body to cool you down. Additionally, the silver technology protects you against harmful bacteria, enabling you to arrive at your destination feeling fresh and in good health. The compression outfi ts are worn by AirAsia Flight Attendants and are now available for purchase to AirAsia guests via www.airasiamegastore.com and onboard AirAsia fl ights.
