🔗Save $2,000+ On Your Next Flight By Learning The Hidden Rules, Rights and Refunds Airlines Never Explain: https://theseniorflyer.com/ Flight Attendants Wish You Knew These 13 Long-Haul Flight Mistakes Sooner Booking a window seat on a long-haul flight feels comfortable until you realize you haven't stood up in seven hours because climbing over two sleeping strangers is too much trouble, and that stillness is the core risk the video builds toward. The advice here covers seat selection, what to pack in the small bag that stays under the seat rather than in the overhead bin, how cabin pressure lowers humidity to desert levels and dries out the nose and throat, and why dehydration is worse for older travelers whose sense of thirst weakens with age. The final and most serious point is deep vein clots: on flights over four hours, getting up to walk every one to two hours, doing ankle circles and calf raises in the seat, and wearing compression socks are presented as the most practical combination of steps, especially for travelers over sixty or those with circulation concerns. One example in the video illustrates what a difference movement made for a window-seat passenger versus an aisle-seat passenger on the same long flight. #longhaulflight #flightattendanttips #flyingover60 #seniortravel #economyclasstravel
