Long-haul flights can really take a toll, not only on our bodies but on our minds as well. So the next time you catch that red-eye flight, try these simple tips to help ease off the physical discomforts. When crossing time zones, switch to the time of your destination once on board so you can rest or sleep according to that time zone.

Bring a neck pillow or ask the cabin crew for pillow support so that you can rest comfortably on your seat without putting too much strain on your neck and back areas. Do try to move around the cabin from time to time as well, stretching your legs, arms and back regularly so that you don’t suffer from cramped muscles.
