大阪府立大学英語講座 - Traveling with English

With so many people, so often being squeezed onto an airplane, it can be difficult and challenging to get comfortable. As the plane air humidity is extremely low, it's best to keep hydrated, that is, drink plenty of water. Often there will be plane delays for take-offs or landings. It's therefore best to have some healthy snacks packed into your carry-on bag. If you have a long flight, try doing some stretching exercises while sitting, but even better, take a walk around the cabin. Try to keep your body in good condition. Free your body, and free your mind!

These days, it's common that flights around the world are completely booked. Many airlines are reducing the number of flights per route to increase the number of passengers on each plane. This becomes more profitable for them, the airlines company, but often less convenient for us, the travelers. We don't have so many flight options and with the increase in demand for plane seats, the cost per ticket often goes up too. Therefore, if traveling with friends or family, it's best to reserve your seat location as soon as possible. This can sometimes be done through your travel agent, and other times the reservation can be made directly with the airlines. Although meeting new people who are traveling beside you on the plane can be quite fascinating, sitting by a loved one is usually emotionally comforting.
