Most business travellers would turn up their noses at the idea of not travelling because of a simple cold. But colds, sinusitis and inner ear infections all block the tubes which connect each ear with the throat, and reduced cabin pressure in aeroplanes could cause considerable pain or even a burst eardrum. To find out if the tubes are clear, a simple test can be done on the ground. Try to make your ears pop by holding your nose shut and blowing gently. If your ears do not pop, you may be in for a miserable flight.

(2).....

Apart from problems with the ears, cabin pressure is unfairly blamed for a lot of in­flight problems. If you feel breathless on board, the cause is more likely to be nervousness than lack of oxygen. Dr Peter Barrett of Medical Advisory Services to Travellers Abroad (MASTA) says that even when air pressure is reduced by half there is still enough oxygen to breathe comfortably.

(3).....

To be on the safe side, take some exercise while flying. Wander around the cabin now and then, and stretch your muscles as often as possible to avoid cramp. It's also a good idea to raise your legs in order to increase circulation and prevent the problem of swollen feet and ankles. Use the f ootrest or, if there isn't one, rest your feet on a piece of hand luggage.

(4).....

Jetlag is another problem that affects many regular travellers. This can be blamed on crossing different time zones rather than the actual journey. Jetlag can cause travellers to feel tired and confused for days after a long flight; sleeping during the flight is the best prevention. If you have trouble sleeping on board a plane, it is a good idea to take a mild sleeping pill - but try the drug at home first to make sure it doesn't make you feel worse when you wake up. Long journeys by air are never comfortable, but travellers who follow the right advice can at least make travelling a pleasant, rather than an exhausting, experience.

B In-flight eating.

C Exercise on board.

D Myths about moisture.
