And its rather unfortunate that you wouldn't be opportune to take a few distance walk like you normally would if it were just a bus that pulled over for passengers lunch. It goes without saying that the amount of time spent in the air actually equates the amount of time you would have to endure several nuisance which can range from a mild inconveniences like (the close dude who don't just know how to pick up the small talk) to a downright most dangerous (deep-vein thrombosis).

Just in case you don't have a favorite seat, go for the back seats although it might not be the best option but you might actually end up with an empty seat or two beside you that will bring you more comfort.

Jet lags also called "circadian dysrhythmia" is the alteration that occur in your internal body clock due to the change of environment. This alteration can disrupt your sleep pattern and render your sleep useless. Before you make a long-haul flight that will involve change in time zone try to adjust your sleep pattern first, at least 4am wake up 7pm bedtime.
